摘要

The State University of New York (SUNY), Downstate Medical Center initiated a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree program in July 2001 following planning efforts that began in 1995. Twelve students entered the program in June 2002, and currently some 110 MPH students and 12 Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) students are enrolled. This article describes the long and complex process of transforming the original MPH degree program, with its single focus on urban and immigrant health, with a student enrollment of 12 and 8 full-time faculty, into a school of public health with a large student enrollment of 122 students, 25 full-time faculty, five MPH degree tracks, and four DrPH degree tracks. The process of establishing the SUNY Downstate School of Public Health in 2009 from its inception as an MPH program in 2001 spanned a period of 8 years. This process was guided by a commitment to two basic principles. The first was to maintain the original 2005 program accreditation by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). The second was to sequentially secure accreditation for all subsequent four MPH and four DrPH degree tracks through CEPH’s procedure of substantive change approval. This policy assured continuous national CEPH accreditation of the original Urban and Immigrant Health MPH degree track and all added degree programs. The 5-year period following the initial CEPH accreditation of the MPH program in 2005 was one of intense development during which all of the essential elements for CEPH accreditation of a school of public health were put into place. This rapid development was made possible by the vision and full support of Downstate’s president, John C. LaRosa, MD, FACP, and the dedicated efforts of many. This included the students, faculty, staff, and administrators of the School of Public Health, the school’s Community Advisory Group, several external advisors, and many in the medical center’s Central Administration, College of Medicine, School of Graduate Studies, College of Nursing, College of Health Related Professions, and the University Hospital of Brooklyn. From the very beginning of the planning phase for an MPH program and through the ultimate accreditation of the School of Public Health in 2010, broad participation was solicited from all major units in the medical center. Thus, the MPH program became a center-wide initiative and not merely that of the College of Medicine’s Department of Preventive Medicine and Community Health. This broad participation has been continuously maintained through the involvement of leaders of other medical center academic units and the University Hospital of Brooklyn in the program’s and then the school’s standing and ad hoc committees, and in other activities as well. Similarly, community representation has been maintained, some through formal linkages relevant to the practical field experiences required of all students. In October 2010, the Board of Councilors of CEPH accredited the SUNY Downstate School of Public Health for a 5-year period through 31 December 2015. The accreditation of the school was a major milestone for Downstate, Brooklyn, and New York City. The SUNY Downstate School of Public Health is the first CEPH accredited school of public health in the history of Brooklyn, and only the second such school in New York City. It is also the first CEPH accredited school of public health at a publicly supported university in New York City. The school has already had a major impact on improving the health and well-being of the people of Brooklyn through its numerous collaborative community-based health promotion and disease prevention programs.

LaRosa,MD,FACP的远见卓识和全力支持,以及许多人的不懈努力,才使得这种快速发展成为可能。其中包括公共卫生学院的学生,教职员工和行政人员,学校的社区咨询小组,几名外部顾问,以及医疗中心的中央行政部门,医学院,研究生院,护理学院,卫生相关专业学院和布鲁克林大学医院。从MPH计划的规划阶段开始到2010年通过公共卫生学院的最终认证,医疗中心所有主要单位都征集了广泛的参与。因此,MPH计划不仅是医学院预防医学与社区卫生系的一项中心计划,而且也成为了一项中心计划。通过其他医学中心学术部门和布鲁克林大学医院的负责人的参与,该计划,学校常务委员会和特设委员会以及其他活动的参与一直持续保持着广泛的参与。同样,通过与所有学生所需的实践经验相关的正式联系,社区代表得以维持。 2010年10月,CEPH的理事会批准了纽约州立大学下州公共卫生学院为期5年,到2015年12月31日。该学校的认证是下州,布鲁克林和纽约市的一个重要里程碑。纽约州立大学下州公共卫生学院是布鲁克林历史上第一所获得CEPH认证的公共卫生学院,也是纽约市第二所此类公共学校。它也是纽约市获得公共支持的大学中第一所获得CEPH认证的公共卫生学校。这所学校已经通过众多基于社区的协作性健康促进和疾病预防计划,对改善布鲁克林人民的健康和福祉产生了重大影响。
