 Methodological innovations in public health education: Transdisciplinary problem solvingE.F. Lawlor, M.W. Kreuter, A.K. Sebert-Kuhlmann and T.D. McBride American Journal of Public Health, 2015, vol. 105, S99-S103 Abstract: In 2008, the faculty of the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis designed a Master of Public Health program centered on transdisciplinary problem solving in public health. We have described the rationale for our approach, guiding principles and pedagogy for the program, and specific transdisciplinary competencies students acquire. We have explained how transdisciplinary content has been organized and delivered, how the program is being evaluated, and how we have demonstrated the feasibility of this approach for a Master of Public Health degree.
