Abstract: Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine launched its curriculum revitalization initiative to examine the Master of Public Health degrees (MPH).The initiative will enhance excellence in MPH education and incorporate innovative teaching approaches. Taskforces determined the MPH core should provide the foundation for public health, integrate knowledge across public health areas, and develop skills and methods needed in practice. The MPH is being updated to provide specialized study that builds skills and practical applications based on theory and evidencebased approaches. Eleven graduate certificates were developed to provide a second area of specialization. Practica are viewed as increasingly important for students without practical experience. Teachingmethods will incorporate more technology including onlinemodules for a blended classroom approach.
