Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows-including those at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH)-have somewhat limited opportunities outside of traditional coursework to learn holistically about public health. Because this lack of familiarity could be a barrier to fruitful collaboration across disciplines, HSPH postdocs sought to address this challenge. In response, the Public Health 101 Nanocourse was developed to provide an overview of five core areas of public health (biostatistics, environmental health sciences, epidemiology, health policy and management, and social and behavioral sciences) in a two half-day course format. We present our experiences with developing and launching this novel approach to acquainting wider multidisciplinary audiences with the field of public health.
研究生和博士后研究员——包括哈佛公共卫生学院(HSPH)的那些人员——在传统课程之外,全面学习公共卫生知识的机会相对有限。由于这种缺乏了解可能成为跨学科富有成效合作的障碍,HSPH的博士后们试图应对这一挑战。作为回应,开发了“公共卫生101微型课程”,以两天半的课程形式概述公共卫生的五个核心领域(生物统计学、环境卫生科学、流行病学、卫生政策与管理以及社会与行为科学)。我们介绍了开发并推出这种让更广泛的多学科受众了解公共卫生领域的新方法的经验。
