Boston University is an Association of American Universities institution with a rich tradition of inclusion and social justice.
The School of Public Health takes the University's commitment even further with its own detailed plan for fostering a diverse and inclusive community.
Founded in 1976, BUSPH ranks as the sixth leading public health school in the country, according to the latest U.S. News & World Report graduate school rankings.
We offer master's- and doctoral-level education in public health along with post-doctoral training. With over 300 faculty in six departments, the School conducts policy-changing public health research, with the mission of improving the health of populations, especially the underserved, locally and globally.
The Department of Community Health Sciences (CHS) is comprised of 25 primary faculty who are internationally recognized for their innovation in research, scholarship, and teaching to enhance the health and well-being of communities and promote health equity.
- Departmental faculty apply both social and behavioral sciences to improve the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities;
- apply scientific theories and evidence from the field to develop interventions and policies tailored to diverse communities;
- teach courses that emphasize assessment, intervention, communication, advocacy, and community-based research and practice;
broaden student understanding of the factors that shape community health and how to improve it; explore how disparities impact health in sexual and other minorities; and promote social change.
The CHS department is looking for a qualified external instructor to co-teach MC786 Immigrant and Refugee Health with an experienced faculty member.
This 4-credit MPH course focuses on immigrants in the U.S. and applies a community perspective to the study of their health and well-being.
The course begins with an overview of how political, economic, cultural factors at the global and local levels shape the migration patterns and health of immigrants and refugees.
It then examines specific immigrant groups and health issues, with attention to interventions that engage community members to act.
Students will gain critical skills in contextual analysis, community based participatory research, and project design. Students will learn about the importance of adopting a multicultural approach.
