INTEGRATION OF TEACHING, RESEARCH, AND SERVICE
Dr. Brian Chen has worked on many Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) and contributed to a variety of public health interventions and initiatives. He has been integrating his research and community health services with his courses. For instance, students in MPH 541 (Social Determinants of Health) learn how to conduct literature reviews, construct conceptual frameworks, collect, analyze, evaluate data, and report results and findings from several sources of real-world datasets. Dr. Chen’s approach brings real-world examples into the classroom to inspire teaching and provides opportunities for students to engage in public health practices in the communities.
The UIS MPH Program emphasized a multi-disciplinary approach to Public Health. There was also importance placed on looking at public health situations from all angles. History, theory, policy, and evaluation were all interwoven in the classes and topics!
