The College of Public Health, a CEPH accredited school of public health, invites applications and nominations for Head of the Department of Health Policy and Management. The College of Public Health promotes health in human populations through innovative research, exemplary education, and engaged service dedicated to preventing disease and injury within the state and around the world.
