Master in Public Health

The Master’s program in Public Health offers a comprehensive view through an approach to the generality of the essential functions of public health, from which areas to delve in throughout the rest of the program’s academic offer may be identified. It is a scenario for inter-professional education in which different disciplines take part and where the health-disease model as a collective construction is addressed. Such an exercise requires the qualified participation of different professions and cultural baggage. 

The program is based on three cornerstones from which the health of the population is managed: 1) the education of professionals, 2) communities, 3) health administrators, 4) decision makers, and 5) service providers.

The basis of the training process includes the development of professional skills in public health, through active methodologies where learning is guided by evaluation.

Based on community-based research, the program promotes the dialogue of knowledge that contributes to cultural adaptations essential to endorse the health of the population.
