Overview

The Community and Public Health program at Birzeit University admits students from a range of disciplines, with physicians, dentists, veterinarians, nurses and midwives studying side by side with other health professionals, nutritionists, engineers, economists, school teachers, and students who have science and social science Bachelor’s degrees.

This ensures that team work and inter-sectoral collaboration is instilled in students early on, and as part of the teaching process. This is also compatible with the principle that public health must be practiced inside and outside health services, including in school, community and the wider society.

Goals

Enable students to approach health-related problems with an appreciation of the broad determinants of health, including the social, political, and economic determinants in addition to the biomedical ones.

Provide students with a foundation of concepts necessary for rational, efficient, effective, and ethical practice of public health, which is relevant to the needs and aspirations of the Palestinian community.

Equip students with the analytical and technical skills necessary for identification of health-related problems, design of appropriate interventions, monitoring, and evaluation of practices.

Enable students to approach health conditions and services with the notion of inter-sectoral cooperation as an essential component of system-building.
