Abstract:
The related literatures on public health education of USA are systematically retrieved, and the websites of relevant schools of public health in USA are extensively visited. It is revealed that there are 46 schools of public health in USA which are accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) in USA, forming a relatively complete discipline system, and the number of new enrollment students is 11 205 in 2010. The accreditation system of public health education in USA not only guarantees the quality of public health education, but also standardizes the core courses of public health education, which include biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental health science, health services administration, and social and behavioral sciences. There are some aspects for China to learn from the American public health education: to establish an accreditation system for schools of public health in China, to regulate core courses and refine degree programs, and at the same time to encourage development of special and prominent features from each school.
Key words: public health, education, accreditation, USA
