The University of Memphis School of Public Health is excited to invite high school students to participate in Public Health IDEAS Club. The RE-AIM Public Health IDEAS Club is a high school initiative aimed at engaging students in public health issues, fostering their development as future health leaders and community advocates.

Our mission is to empower high school students with practical skills and knowledge in public health through innovative workshops, community-based research and public health campaigns. Learn how to support your community’s health and well-being with student-led projects and initiatives following our Public Health in Action Curriculum (also available with iEARN).

“The initiative is built upon the relevance of transforming ideas into implementation for solving pressing public health challenges of the 21st century through Research, Skills, Innovation and Entrepreneurship.” Dr. Ashish Joshi, Dean and Distinguished Professor at the University of Memphis School of Public Health.

Built on 4 Pillars of Coping, Adaptability, Resilience, Empathy (CARE), students will be facilitated by experts in the field to come up with out-of-the-box solutions to address common public health challenges in local and global settings. We encourage creative, innovative and out-of-box thinking that will help translate ideas into designing and developing public health solutions to support community health and well-being.

Project Description:

 

Public Health in Action Curriculum (the full 14-week/lesson course): Public Health is more important than ever. With the changing social, political, cultural and economic norms we need to reimagine higher education—emphasizing Population Health and Social Determinants of Health that promotes attaining the full potential for health and well-being for all. This means incorporating “glocalization” into solution-centric approaches and creative leadership. Completing this course marks the level of students’ efforts and signifies a significant step forward in their journey towards understanding public health.

Throughout this project, students will engage with a diverse range of topics, methodologies, and real-world applications, equipping them with essential knowledge, skills, and perspectives to navigate the multifaceted landscape of public health. Moreover, the lessons learned from this course project will serve as a solid foundation for students as they continue their academic and professional endeavors in the field of public health. Whether pursuing further studies, embarking on careers in public health practice, or advocating for policy change, students are well-equipped to make meaningful contributions to improving the health and well-being of communities locally, nationally, and globally.
