Teaching Public Health: Writing and Communication

This is the fourth installment of our Teaching Public Health series, which began in 2018. For this year’s symposium, our focus is on Writing and Communication, recognizing how central communication is to effective public health. This has been more evident than ever in the time of COVID. Yet, there has not been focused attention on effective public health communication in formal or informal curricula in programs and schools of public health. The symposium will explore promising practices in teaching public health writing and communication, highlighting lessons learned from the past two years as public health communication has been highly scrutinized, and looking toward a future where all public health professionals are well trained for effective communication.
