Public Health Education Reimagined in the Post Covid Era Webinar
The global impacts of COVID-19 have firmly established the importance of public health in guiding the health response. While public health knowledge, expertise, and a skilled workforce have been critical in guiding disease prevention and health protection activities, these rely on traditional public health competencies. The pandemic has also widened educational inequalities among vulnerable students and accelerated trends and changes occurring in the higher education system pre-COVID. Addressing the pandemic has thus provoked thinking around potential lessons for public health education for the development of new and strengthened educational strategies in a post-COVID -19 world.
