Join Dean Paul Cleary in celebrating this year’s Public Health Day. more

We invite you to share in our vision of the future: one in which we help to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in health; harness the power of the genome to prevent infectious and chronic diseases; and develop comprehensive programs to prevent diseases such as cancer.

Yale founded one of the country's oldest programs in public health in 1915. Building on the vision of its founder, C-E.A. Winslow, this nationally accredited School of Public Health has played a pivotal role in defining and addressing public health issues and training leaders in public health research, education and practice.

Information about our academic programs, faculty, research, student life, public health news and upcoming events can be explored via the links on this page. Welcome.
