Enhancing Prevention and Population Health Education

The goal of this project is to enhance and integrate prevention and population health education in educational programs for health professionals. CPHCE worked with the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University and the Duke University School of Medicine to develop seven web-based modules which teach key concepts in clinical prevention and population health. These population health modules include ready-to-use materials that can be easily integrated into existing curricula.

The modules are:

• Determinants of Health   
• Fundamentals of Epidemiology   
• Taking a Preventive History   
• Screening  
• Health Care Systems   
• Research to Practice    
• Outbreak Investigation and Disease Control     

This project was developed through the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research(APTR) Initiative to Enhance Prevention and Population Health Education with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
