Public Health Sciences

In the Department of Public Health Sciences at the University of Virginia, we aim to advance evidence and knowledge for the health and well-being of all communities. Our department is highly collaborative, working closely with others across the School of Medicine and the University of Virginia to improve the health of people in Virginia, the United States, and across the globe. We do this by leading research initiatives and programs, collaborating with colleagues, and educating the next generation of public health leaders.

 

Advancing Health. From Every Discipline. For Every Life.
