- To provide scholars with an understanding of population health that is broad and integrative
- To insure that scholars understand how to translate new population health knowledge into policy and practice
- To provide scholars with the knowledge and skills necessary for them to become leaders in the emerging field of population health
- To contribute to the understanding of population health concepts at the university, state, and national levels.
