Originally established in 1912, the Tulane University School of Public Health
and Tropical Medicine (TU-SPHTM) was the first such institution in the United
States. The School has the only department of Tropical Medicine in the United
States, with some of the most historical and most famous teachers and
researchers in Tropical Medicine. The TU-SPHTM has the second largest public
health graduate training program in the United States, with students from more
than fifty countries studying on campus. In addition, the School has
International collaborations in approximately sixty countries, with special
strengths in South-East Asia, West Africa, Central and South America. The
TU-SPHTM boasts of innovative learning approaches, including electronic
classrooms, individualized web and Internet-based training, off-site degree
offerings within the United States and overseas, and a specialized MD/MPH
program which allows medical students the opportunity to study for a Master's of
Public Health (MPH) degree in the same (four year) time frame that it takes to
earn their Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree. The School has special collaborative
relationships with the Tulane University School of Medicine, the Tulane Regional
Primate Research Center, and the Tulane/Xavier Center for Bioenvironmental
Research. The mission of the TU-SPHTM is to advance public health knowledge,
promote health and well being, and prevent disease, disability and premature
mortality. This is accomplished through academic excellence in education of
public health professionals, rigorous scientific research of public health
problems, creative partnerships to advance the practice of public health, and
innovative service to the local, national and international public health
community.
