School of Public Health
Providing knowledge and leadership to protect and improve health
The Yale School of Public Health is one of the nation’s first schools devoted to public health training and research. Its researchers have made many fundamental contributions to population health, from identifying and isolating African Lassa virus to creating hospital systems used to manage costs and care quality. Its graduates hold leadership positions in the public and private sectors around the country and in many regions of the world.
We invite you to share in our vision of the future: one in which we help to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in health; harness the power of the genome to prevent infectious and chronic diseases; and develop comprehensive programs to prevent diseases such as cancer. To that end, we strive to recruit the brightest and most committed students from around the world and a superb faculty dedicated to teaching, research, and public health practice.
We do not know what tomorrow’s health challenges will be, but we do know that they will require us to continue conducting cutting edge research and developing new and imaginative training programs so that we can provide our faculty and graduates throughout the world with the tools and resources necessary to address increasingly complex threats to global health. Whether around the corner or around the globe, the School remains committed to the core goal established when it was founded nearly 100 years ago: to make a difference in the health of the public.
Please join our committed alumni and growing network of friends—share your ideas, support our mission, invest in our collective future.
