The graduate Certificate in Disaster Management and Resilience is designed for students in other MPH or MSPH programs at Tulane SPHTM who wish to acquire a more in-depth knowledge of public health in the context of disaster preparedness and management. For example, the certificate program would appeal to an epidemiology major who has an interest in applying epidemiologic principles to the study and management of chronic disease in the aftermath of disasters; a community health sciences major who will be working on the impact of land use and built-environment on post disaster recovery; a global health systems and development major who plans to work with disaster-prone populations overseas; and an infectious disease or tropical medicine major who will address post-disaster changes in infectious disease control. Disasters are a concern globally and many public health professionals will end up dealing with the aftermath of disasters no matter their chosen field or where they travel professionally.

Some geographical limitations for recruitment might be applied. Please contact Unibroad Team for further information.
