0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:08.940
public health its ultimate goal is to

0:00:06.750 --> 0:00:10.740
improve health outcomes of all people

0:00:08.940 --> 0:00:13.769
across populations public health

0:00:10.740 --> 0:00:16.710
professionals bring an intersected

0:00:13.769 --> 0:00:18.150
approach it combines concepts and

0:00:16.710 --> 0:00:19.650
principles from a lot of other

0:00:18.150 --> 0:00:22.740
disciplines and they can look at

0:00:19.650 --> 0:00:25.650
problems in a way that is different we

0:00:22.740 --> 0:00:27.840
focus more also on prevention rather

0:00:25.650 --> 0:00:32.000
than trying to treat certain diseases or

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:32.000
illnesses that are cure in people

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:38.550
in its simplest form the mission of the

0:00:36.330 --> 0:00:41.040
school is really to improve the health

0:00:38.550 --> 0:00:44.010
of the public and we do this in Chicago

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:46.530
and beyond we really focus on three

0:00:44.010 --> 0:00:48.000
primary areas number one educating the

0:00:46.530 --> 0:00:50.490
next generation of public health

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:52.710
practitioners number two by conducting

0:00:50.490 --> 0:00:54.960
cutting-edge research in number three by

0:00:52.710 --> 0:00:56.420
providing service to the Chicago

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.220
community and beyond

0:00:56.420 --> 0:01:00.870
[Music]

0:00:58.220 --> 0:01:03.360
public health is global health it's

0:01:00.870 --> 0:01:06.030
basically looking at the entire world as

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:08.729
one single community and thinking about

0:01:06.030 --> 0:01:10.710
how to protect and improve the health of

0:01:08.729 --> 0:01:13.260
this entire community that is the world

0:01:10.710 --> 0:01:15.210
it is vitally our responsibility as

0:01:13.260 --> 0:01:17.550
public health professionals to address

0:01:15.210 --> 0:01:18.330
global health issues diseases know no

0:01:17.550 --> 0:01:20.460
boundaries

0:01:18.330 --> 0:01:23.250
they don't remain in one country because

0:01:20.460 --> 0:01:25.080
what happens globally has a huge impact

0:01:23.250 --> 0:01:26.250
on what happens in the United States we

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.680
don't just see it as something that

0:01:26.250 --> 0:01:30.810
happens over there in another country

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:34.860
but it's also right here domestically in

0:01:30.810 --> 0:01:37.020
our city and in our state urban half is

0:01:34.860 --> 0:01:39.450
actually about looking at the urban

0:01:37.020 --> 0:01:41.940
population and trying to find things in

0:01:39.450 --> 0:01:43.530
the community that will either enhance

0:01:41.940 --> 0:01:46.020
the health of people living in this

0:01:43.530 --> 0:01:47.610
community or endanger that urban health

0:01:46.020 --> 0:01:50.700
issues are vitally important

0:01:47.610 --> 0:01:53.250
particularly the differences in health

0:01:50.700 --> 0:01:54.810
status that we see across various

0:01:53.250 --> 0:01:57.210
sections of cities

0:01:54.810 --> 0:01:58.710
it's our obvious focus because of our

0:01:57.210 --> 0:02:00.360
placement here in the city of Chicago

0:01:58.710 --> 0:02:02.369
our relationship with community-based

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:04.440
organizations and other institutions in

0:02:02.369 --> 0:02:06.030
the Chicago and really our mission to

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:08.160
improve the health of all people

0:02:06.030 --> 0:02:11.850
starting with those in our background

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:13.890
health equity is an approach to solving

0:02:11.850 --> 0:02:15.720
health disparities across populations

0:02:13.890 --> 0:02:17.310
and trying to improve ultimately health

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:19.440
outcomes and accessibility of health

0:02:17.310 --> 0:02:23.100
care and quality to meet health equity

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:25.680
is access in a way that doesn't promote

0:02:23.100 --> 0:02:27.660
disparities health equity is all about

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.880
addressing disparities in health and

0:02:27.660 --> 0:02:32.490
it's about providing opportunities so

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:34.470
that all people can achieve optimal

0:02:32.490 --> 0:02:37.050
health my community can be considered

0:02:34.470 --> 0:02:39.480
slum because it's a lot of poverty there

0:02:37.050 --> 0:02:42.450
for me the inspiration is to work hard

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:43.980
learn and go back and be able to apply

0:02:42.450 --> 0:02:46.980
some of the knowledge that I've acquired

0:02:43.980 --> 0:02:50.820
and and help improve certain situations

0:02:46.980 --> 0:02:53.490
there when I think about UIC I think

0:02:50.820 --> 0:02:55.680
about the great diversity it's a perfect

0:02:53.490 --> 0:02:57.090
setting to meet all people from

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.580
different countries different cultures

0:02:57.090 --> 0:03:01.350
with different experiences perspectives

0:02:59.580 --> 0:03:03.960
it allows people really to bring their

0:03:01.350 --> 0:03:07.320
strengths to our learning and also to

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:09.450
our engaged practice we really create a

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:11.490
sense of community here it's really

0:03:09.450 --> 0:03:13.920
important because it's also what our

0:03:11.490 --> 0:03:15.810
public F is about creating community in

0:03:13.920 --> 0:03:18.350
solving problems and learning from each

0:03:15.810 --> 0:03:22.050
other's the future of higher education

0:03:18.350 --> 0:03:24.990
is really about providing our students a

0:03:22.050 --> 0:03:28.140
unique opportunity to understand and

0:03:24.990 --> 0:03:30.630
address and tackle real-world health

0:03:28.140 --> 0:03:32.550
problems we are kind of Rican sieving

0:03:30.630 --> 0:03:34.110
what is health and we're engaging in

0:03:32.550 --> 0:03:36.600
partnership with people who most

0:03:34.110 --> 0:03:38.640
impacted by the social phenomena that

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:41.550
were interested in and I think that can

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:43.530
only really advance our inquiry and

0:03:41.550 --> 0:03:45.630
advance our opportunity for action we

0:03:43.530 --> 0:03:48.570
want to make sure that our students are

0:03:45.630 --> 0:03:50.850
able to ask those very critical

0:03:48.570 --> 0:03:52.480
questions that will make the world a

0:03:50.850 --> 0:03:57.430
better place
