The department is also involved in educating current and future health care providers on population health and its involvement in patient care. The department focuses on four major themes: 1) data acquisition and analysis to identify disease risk, 2) clinical and community focused population health strategies that reduce health disparities, 3) systems-based policy formation that provides sustainable solutions, and 4) the population health education of current and future health care professionals. The Department uses its research, scholarship, and innovation to design, implement, study, and model solutions to our region's health challenges. Our research guides policy, and our distinguished faculty advise hospital and clinical systems, government, educators, and industry on the best means to improve population health. The Department connects faculty from SIU School of Medicine and affiliated hospitals and healthcare institutions, government and nongovernment agencies, and philanthropists who are interested in population sciences research and policy. The department seeks and promotes collaborations to bridge knowledge gaps, share methodological expertise, and stimulate translational science.
