Taking an integrated approach in public health

Why integrate?
Ways of knowing – moving beyond the silos
Ways of engaging – moving our students towards different ways of knowing
![Page 4: Integrating Public Health Education: The Challenges in a Globalising World](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813aa2550346895da29a71/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Ways of knowing: multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary?
PH: Should we be moving beyond multidisciplinary approaches towards interdisciplinary models and if so, what would that actually look like?
UQ: Are we doing enough?
“Multidisciplinarity draws on knowledge from different disciplines but stays within their boundaries..”
“. An interdisciplinary approach analyses, synthesizes and harmonizes links between disciplines into a coordinated and coherent whole.”

Ways of knowing: global or local perspectives?
![Page 6: Integrating Public Health Education: The Challenges in a Globalising World](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813aa2550346895da29a71/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
UQ: Should we break out of the silos or not?

PH: Given the emphasis on integrating a global perspective, what does this mean for studying an MPH in the Australian context?
![Page 8: Integrating Public Health Education: The Challenges in a Globalising World](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813aa2550346895da29a71/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ways of engaging: Our context
• Large research intensive university • 400+ Postgraduate Students - MPH
• 1/3 international• About half study externally and part time • Many with medical/allied health backgrounds
• 300+ undergraduates - BHlthSc• Future medical practitioners and non-clinical professionals

Ways of Engaging: Active Classrooms/Interactive Technology?
UQ how do we manage these challenges in our internal and external classroom? How do we bring our team with us?
PH: How do we move students towards process of learning transformation?

Ways of Engaging: Research/Teaching Integration
The Challenges• Reflects and makes use of the teacher’s disciplinary
research to benefit students learning and outcomes
• Development of research skills important element of curriculum design and development
• Adding another research agenda: Scholarship of teaching and learning – Improving Teaching Practice
– Student learning outcomes

Research -Teaching integration
Guest lectures/ meet the “expert” sessions – Collaborative approach to lecture development– Delivering key content with research examples
Sharing publications, key public health media releases, for up-to-date literature for teaching
Identification of high quality RHD students– Designing student projects and dissertations that support/feed into
larger projects
Student volunteers to support research staff Opportunities for RHD student’s skill development in
lecturing and tutoring
Research Teaching

UQ: How do we expand research and teaching Integration across the school?
PH: How do we integrate T&R across the disciplines in public health to ensure effective programs?

Questions for Public Health
• Multidisciplinary: Should we be moving beyond multidisciplinary approaches towards interdisciplinary models and if so, what would that actually look like?
• Global: Given the emphasis on integrating a global perspective, what does this mean for studying an MPH in the Australian context?
• Learning transformations: How do we move students towards processes of learning transformation?
• Teaching/Research: How do we integrate T&R across the disciplines in public health to ensure students understand the processes needed to develop effective PH programs?
• What more can we do to empower and engage our students?• http://padlet.com/charlotte_young/caphiaworkshop
