Public health professions are experiencing renewed focus and professional demands in the wake of national and international health challenges. Public health has been described as a “complex network of organizations that coordinates efforts to protect, promote, and improve the health of the population as a whole.”

Public health is a discipline that is distinct from clinical medicine. Both specialties focus attention on health status, yet the target of attention and the means by which health status is addressed can vary.
