You are invited to exhibit at the
2010 conference.
You are invited to the University of Texas at Austin where students are interested in public health and want to learn more!
The University of Texas at Austin is one of the largest universities in the nation and is a
national leader in the number of undergraduate degrees awarded to minority students.
Interest in public health is growing on campus as a result of collaborative partnerships
between the university and its public health practice partners, the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) and the Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department (ATCHHSD). Initiatives in public health over the last six years have included:
Three very successful “Become a Disease Detective: Discover Public Health!” Conferences
Each conference attracted over 700 students, faculty and advisors, giving them opportunities to hear talks based on real cases in epidemiology and “disease detective”
work, and to engage in discussions with public health professionals about their activities,
functions and careers. Participants learned about graduate programs in public health,
spoke with representatives from public health organizations and received free books in
the Exhibit Hall. A complete program, a list of activities and a final report about the 2008
Disease Detective conference can be found at www.sbs.utexas.edu/diseasedetective.
“Texas Public Health” student organization
This undergraduate student organization, devoted to public health, meets every two
weeks on campus. studentorgs.utexas.edu/publichealth
The Public Health Internship Program
This collaborative program gives undergraduates the opportunity to conduct one
semester, goal-oriented research projects at TDSHS or ATCHHSD. Advanced summer
internships focused on Texas-Mexico border health also are available at the University
of Texas, School of Public Health, Brownsville Regional Campus. Twenty eight percent
of the 102 students who have completed the program and graduated from the university
are currently pursuing or have earned MPH or Ph.D. degrees in public health or dual
MD/MPH degrees! http://cns.utexas..edu/careers/career-services/internships/phi

A Bachelor of Science degree in Public Health has gained approval from university
