The Medical Center is also a partner in scientific research with the Brookhaven National Laboratory. | | A unique feature of the Medical Center at Stony Brook is its emphasis on multidisciplinary education and research. The Graduate Program in Public Health shares and greatly benefits from this philosophy. Our Program draws faculty from many disciplines representing the clinical, social, and behavioral sciences, as well as the humanities. The Program emphasizes an ecological orientation to understanding health problems and developing innovative solutions for them. We believe our graduates will have the skills to develop sound public health research and translate research into beneficial programs and policies. The Graduate Program in Public Health is seeking inquisitive, talented students who want to make a difference. If you can picture yourself in this very selective environment, I hope you will apply. It will take the best and brightest minds to protect and improve the public's health! | Raymond L. Goldsteen, DrPH Director | |
