MPH Faculty
The MPH program, housed in the Department of Population Health Sciences, is an interdisciplinary program supported by faculty, staff and community members across the UW campus and around the state. Contributing members to the MPH program can be divided into three groups: MPH Program Faculty (including Core Course Faculty), MPH Affiliate Faculty, and MPH Community Faculty. UW-Madison faculty or academic staff who contribute substantively to the MPH program through teaching, mentoring, and service are appointed as MPH Public Health Program Faculty.
