MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH: A CRITICAL AREA OF PUBLIC HEALTH.
Improving maternal and child health is a focus at the School throughout our research, teaching and more. UAlbany’s Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Program provides academic and professional development opportunities for students, faculty and staff who are committed to advancing the health and well-being of all members and types of families within our population. The program offers MCH coursework, funding for MCH student practica, brown bag seminars, networking events, community service opportunities, and funding for student and faculty participation in MCH conferences. In addition, the program continues to form partnerships with national, state and local MCH-related agencies and organizations for additional opportunities for students and faculty. Students can also earn a Graduate Certificate in Maternal and Child Health to gain the necessary tools to analyze and develop policies, programs and initiatives to improve MCH.
