RESOLUTION SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT OF AN M.P.H. DEGREE IN ARIZONA
Whereas, there is no Masters of Public Health program in Arizona
Whereas, the M.P.H. degree is generally recognized to be an important academic qualification for work in public health;
Whereas, there is need, both in the state and in the region, to have a training and research program which addressed the health problems of the state and-reg:i..on and which makes the
M.P.H. locally available; and
Whereas, the University of Arizona, through its Department of Family and Community Medicine in the College of Medicine, is currently developing a proposal to offer the M.P.H. degree,
Therefore, be it resolved, that the Arizona Public Health Association support the College of Medicine at the University of Arizona in its effort to develop and M.P.H. program and that the University, the Arizona Board of Regents and others be encouraged to move forward with this effort as rapidly as possible.
