Articulation Agreement and Transfer Guide. Public health is the science and art of preventing illness and disease and promoting evidence-based health practices with the goal of improving the quality of life. It is concerned with threats to health based on population health analysis. The population in question can be as small as a handful of people, or as large as all the inhabitants of several continents. The dimensions of health can encompass a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, as defined by the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO). Public health incorporates the interdisciplinary approaches of epidemiology, biostatistics and a vast array of health services. A host of specialists including educators, journalists, researchers, administrators, environmentalists, demographers, social workers, laboratory scientists and more, work to protect the health of the public. Public health professionals serve local, national and international communities in settings such as environmental health, community health, behavioral health, health economics, public policy, insurance and occupational health. Public health is a very rewarding field offering great personal fulfillment in serving others. According to Healthy People 2010 (a study of the U.S. Public Health Infrastructure), there is growing demand for public health professionals, which will exponentially increase with the advent of recently passed health care reform legislation known as the Affordable Care Act. Historically, public health education existed as a professional degree program with training at the graduate level only. In 2003, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommended that public health education be accessible to all undergraduates.
