How is population health science different from the field of public health?

During the live, virtual event Beginners Guide to Population Health, which was moderated by current M.S. student Aikya Soni, we asked faculty from Duke’s Department of Population Health Sciences this exact question and more. Panelists included:

- Leslie Curtis, Ph.D., Professor & Chair, Population Health Sciences
- Hayden Bosworth, Ph.D., Professor & Vice-Chair, Education
- Asheley Skinner, Ph.D., Professor & Director, Graduate Studies

During the virtual event, faculty members:

- Broke down the basics of population health and what sets it apart from related fields
- Helped attendees understand how population health scientists tackle some of today’s toughest public health challenges
- Familiarized attendees with the tools that population health scientists use to address big healthcare problems that matter
- Inspired viewers with examples of the impact that population health sciences can have on communities and populations around the world
