Description
Summary:In 2003, the Institute of Medicine called for all undergraduate college students to have access to education in public health. Several major national initiatives have been launched to achieve this goal, such as the Educated Citizen and Public Health Initiative hosted by the Association of American Colleges and Universities in partnership with the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH), and the ASPPH-led 2010 Undergraduate Public Health Learning Outcomes Model that introduces students to public health at two- and four-year colleges and universities. Here, Leider et al analyze this previously unused administrative dataset to improve the understanding of trends in public health undergraduate training during the past two decades.
