A view from the threshold

Last week the Colorado School of Public Health hosted the site-visit accreditation team from the Council on Education in Public Health (CEPH).  This jury asked us questions, prodded our plans, and poked into all matters from our philosophy to our finances.   None of the few deficiencies they noted were serious.  They seemed impressed by what we have built.  The Colorado School of Public Health is now on the threshold to become the 44th fully accredited school of public health in the U.S.We expect official verification of accreditation in October.

Health care reform and space exploration

There is a lot of space between public health and clinical health care that needs to be explored.  New resources for health care reform that will be coming over the next few years should fuel many opportunities to create new ways to better prevent disease and improve health within that space.  Now is the time to begin to imagine the potential of what we might do.
