Educational Attainment and Characteristics of Leaders of Schools of Public Health and State Health Departments.

A perceived diversity exists in the educational training of leaders in state and academic public health that isn't observed in other heath disciplines. To assess this perception, the present study describes the training and experience of state health directors and deans of schools of public health. Data were collected in 2017 for deans of schools of public health (n = 56) and state health directors (n = 49) in the United States. Results indicated that 56 deans had at least one terminal degree, while 14 state health directors did not. Women comprised 23 of the dean and 24 state health director positions. Years in current position were 6.91 for deans and 3.51 for state health directors. Thirty-seven deans and 22 state health directors held graduate degrees in public health. As public health leaders advance towards retirement; it is imperative that the public health professionals obtain relevant training necessary to become tomorrow's public health leadership.

European schools of public health in state of flux.

In 1992 there were in Europe 54 schools of public health and six out of eight possible structures were represented. To meet future needs two types (the US style school of public health as a stand-alone academic entity and the cross-school programme in public health with formal ties to national public health authorities) seem to be the most promising alternatives. New schools should strive to take on one of these shapes, and the rejuvenation of existing schools might, via accreditation procedures, evolve in those directions too.
