| A panel on undergraduate public health education will examine the history, current status and future of undergraduate education in public health offered through School of Public Health and their implications for the future public health workforce. Richard Riegelman will present an overview of the national forces that are encouraging undergraduate public health education including the renewed national interest in public health, changes in medical school admissions policy, the interdisciplinary orientation of undergraduate education and the market demand for undergraduate training in public health. Nancy Alfred Persily will discuss common national issues including accreditation, articulation issues, recruitment and marketing issues and will review the current and possible future role for the Association of Schools of Public Health. Other panelists will represent Johns Hopkins University (James Goodyear), George Washington University (Joel Teitelbaum) and Boston University (Arthur Culbert) which have developed a diversity of approaches to undergraduate education. Each panelist will discuss the undergraduate programs offered by their institution including the philosophy, history, structure, administration, and future plans.
