ASPPH has released a new report, Advancing Global Health in Academic Public Health, developed by its Global Engagement and Partnerships Advisory Committee in collaboration with international colleagues. The report outlines priorities for preparing the public health workforce, strengthening reciprocal partnerships, and advancing equitable and resilient global health engagement amid increasingly interconnected public health challenges.

A central theme of the report is the increasingly "glocal" nature of public health, recognizing that global challenges such as infectious disease, climate change, migration, conflict, and emerging technologies have direct impacts on local communities. At the same time, strong local leadership, systems, and partnerships are essential to building global resilience.

The report emphasizes the important role of schools and programs of public health in preparing graduates to navigate these interconnected challenges and work effectively across local, national, and global contexts.

It also provides practical recommendations for strengthening academic public health through curriculum development, reciprocal partnerships, workforce preparation, leadership, student engagement, interdisciplinary learning, digital fluency, and accountability. These recommendations emphasize approaches that are locally grounded, globally relevant, and responsive to evolving public health needs.

ASPPH encourages members and partners to explore the report and consider how its recommendations can inform education, research, practice, and global engagement efforts across their institutions.
