Public Health - International Master's in Public Health (IMPH) Program

Program Description:
The one-year English-language IMPH Program provides trainees with tools for examining public health problems and formulating relevant responses at the institutional,community and national levels. We help our students develop knowledge and skills in a broad range of public health disciplines, and prepare them to take up leadership positions in their home countries, in areas such as HIV, malaria and tuberculosis prevention and control, prevention and treatment of heart disease, diabetes and other noncommunicable
diseases, combating malnutrition and tobacco use, and fighting the stigma associated with mental illness. An equally important goal of the program is to instill in our students a love and respect for Israel and its people.The overall objective of the program is to provide basic knowledge of the theory and practice of public health and community medicine for those either currently engaged in this field or planning to do so in the future. The emphasis throughout is on active learning by the student
inside and out of the classroom.
