New public health school in the works
EDUCATION
Medical Center by the The school - which would consist of a reorganization of the preventive medicine, biostatistics, and health policy and management programs - would help fill a hole in a growing industry in both the Midwest and Kansas.
The University is planning to establish a new School of Public Health that could be implemented at the University of Kansas Medical Center by July 1.
both the midwest and northeast Glen Cox, director of the institute for community and public health at the Medical Center, said there are only just more than 40 schools of public health in the country and that the central region is largely underrepresented.
There have been discussions about the possibility of developing such a school for decades, but the most recent effort by officials started in July 2008. Plans for the school were submitted to the Board of Regents in August, and if they gain approval from the full board in December or January, the longer official accreditation process will begin.
"If you don't train individuals locally, it can set a state back, as it's very difficult to recruit from other regions in the country," Cox said.
The new school would prepare students to enter both the public and private sectors in disciplines such as health management, health policymaking, and biostatistics research. High-demand careers are available in places like hospitals and insurance and
pharmaceutical companies.
Although much of the infrastructure and funding is already in place through existing programs, a need of between 52 and 2.5 million has been identified to recruit a dean and new faculty members. The school wants to raise that primarily through private philanthropy and grants, hoping to avoid the need for state support.
The plans have been criticized by some, however, for creating a new school in the middle of state budget problems, but Cox said Kansas can't be left unprepared.
"You have to have a plan and already have execution under way when the business cycle turns or you're going to be left behind," Cox said.
