The MPH Program involves faculty from several clinical and basic science departments providing students access to research facilities across the campus. Adjunct faculty members in the MPH Program are primarily public health professionals who provide students research and practice opportunities in community and occupational settings. Key community partners include:
Galveston County Health District, St. Vincent’s Clinic, The Jesse Tree, and Frontera de Salud. MPH faculty members have access to and experience with a wide range of population health data sets including: the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES), the Hispanic Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly (H-EPESE), cancer data from the SEER Program, the Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS), Medicare data, the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), mortality data for the Department of Energy nuclear workers, and health insurance claims data on approximately 36 Million United Health enrollees. MPH faculty members also have expertise working with data from clinical records, emergency room visits, and the correctional health care system.
