Welcome to the Department of Public Health Sciences. Our mission is to cultivate academic and community-engaged scholarship while preparing public health professionals to exemplify leadership, innovation, and technical expertise at local, state, national, and international levels, with an emphasis on the Southwest and New Mexico communities.
In all of our work, faculty, staff, and students, reflect values that are core to public health practice such as equity, respect, diversity, trust, social justice, participation, inclusion, and fairness. These values are fundamental to addressing existing pervasive health disparities in the state and beyond and in preparing the next generation of public health practitioners and researchers.
