7 1 University f Miami Graduate Prgrams in Public Health Intrductin The Graduate Prgrams in Public Heath is an integral part f the Department f Public Health Sciences, ne f the mst prlific departments n the campus f the Miller Schl f Medicine (MSOM), itself part f the University f Miami (UM). A private research university with mre than 15,000 students frm arund the wrld, UM is a vibrant and diverse academic cmmunity. Frm prgram t department, schl and university, the visin, missin and gals are fcused n teaching and learning, the discvery f new knwledge, and service t the Suth Flrida regin and beynd. UM is a relatively new institutin, established in 1925 during the regin s famus real estate bm. In 1952, true visinaries funded the medical schl t serve Suth Flrida, Suth America and the Caribbean in educatin, research, patient care and cmmunity service. The Department f Public Health Sciences was established in 1970 and cntinues tday t bring abut sustainable, psitive changes in health by prviding an utstanding prgram f research, teaching and service t educate the next generatin f public health leaders wh endeavr t discver, test and disseminate slutins t health threats and prblems; and translate research int effective practices and sund plicies. The missin f public health has been defined by the Institute f Medicine as fulfilling sciety s interest in assuring cnditins in which peple can be healthy (IOM, 1988). It is this philsphy that is at the cre f ur degree prgrams. In 2008, the Assciatin f Schls f Public Health (ASPH) alerted us t a public health wrkfrce crisis with a warning that withut enugh public health wrkers prtecting us where we live, wrk and play, we all are vulnerable t serius health risks. It is this frecast that is driving ur cmmitment t sustain ur grwth trajectry and t train mre public health prfessinals, extend public health training int ur medical degree curriculum, expand ur degree fferings and maintain cnnectins with ur alumni t ensure their cntinued dedicatin t the field. The Graduate Prgrams has cnsistently maintained accreditatin with CEPH since the inceptin f the teaching prgram in The Graduate Prgrams ffers a distinct set f attributes t the prspective r cntinuing student in a culture that prmtes interdisciplinary cperatin and cllabratin, as evidenced in multidisciplinary research, service and teaching effrts.

12 6 e. Descriptin f the manner thrugh which the missin, values, gals and bjectives were develped, including a descriptin f hw varius specific stakehlder grups were invlved in their develpment. Missin statements, values, gals and bjectives existed fr the Graduate Prgrams since its inceptin. In 2011, we undertk an extensive prject t realign ur missin, values, gals and bjectives with the wrk we were ding and hped t d. A small wrking grup f students and staff was frmed in August 2011 t review all current materials and create the first revisins. The small wrkgrup met weekly August December 2011 preparing and revising drafts f the missin, values and gals/bjectives fr further review and cnsideratin by the Department faculty (mnthly faculty meetings), the Graduate Executive Plicy Cmmittee and the Department Executive Cmmittee. Drafts were presented and refined in a series f faculty meetings during September December A wrking draft f the revised missin, values and gals/bjectives was finalized in early Draft dcuments were ed t all apprpriate cnstituents in Spring Input frm current students was slicited in February 2012 and input frm alumni was slicited in April In additin, we reached ut t varius stakehlders in the cmmunity in April 2012 including leadership f the lcal Health Department and several lcal cmmunity agencies (e.g., the Health Fundatin f Suth Flrida, the Children s Trust, and Catalyst Miami). In additin t these targeted activities, we psted ur drafts n ur department website, during their develpment. This website is designed and rganized based n CEPH accreditatin criteria making it easy t access. The website is als designed t allw submissin f feedback by any individual. The feedback is ed t the CEPH Accreditatin Wrkgrup that is respnsible fr reviewing and acting upn feedback. Feedback is an agenda item n every CEPH Accreditatin Wrkgrup meeting, t ensure that it is discussed and if necessary brught t ther cnstituent grups fr deliberatin. f. Descriptin f hw the missin, values, gals and bjectives are made available t the prgram s cnstituent grups, including the general public, and hw they are rutinely reviewed and revised t ensure relevance. The main methd by which the missin, values, gals, and bjectives are made available t the Prgram s cnstituent grups, including the general public, is a permanent website: The website tabs are designed and rganized s ur missin, values, gals and bjectives are identified fr easy access. We als include ur missin statement n marketing materials fr prspective and current students. Our missin, values and gals are reviewed annually by ur graduate prgrams staff. They bring issues t the members f the Graduate Executive Plicy Cmmittee (GEPC). These items are als reviewed each time we draft new prmtinal materials r re print existing nes.

13 7 Our Prgram s missin, values, gals, and bjectives are als discussed ad hc during faculty meetings, staff meetings, and student feedback sessins. This adds a very imprtant layer f cnstituent invlvement as it addresses student, staff and faculty issues immediately as they arise. This prcess als keeps us cnstantly reviewing the Prgram s missin, values, gals and bjectives t ensure they are relevant t the actual wrk that is being cmpleted within the Prgram. g. Assessment f the extent t which this criterin is met and an analysis f the prgram s strengths, weaknesses and plans relating t this criterin. This criterin is met. Strengths We undertk a careful and cmprehensive review f ur missin, values, gals and bjectives with all cnstituents. This review resulted in a mre clearly delineated relatinship between ur missin, values, gals and bjectives. Our missin, values, gals and bjectives are aligned with the wrk we d nw and the wrk we hpe t d. Challenge While ur missin and gals clearly align with ur nrmal prcesses and activities, it is nt a nrmal prcess t cntinually mnitr ur prgress against these gals. Plan We have assigned Ms. Heather Rse, Directr f Accreditatin and Dctral Administratin, the primary respnsibility t cntinually mnitr ur prgress tward ur gals and reprt t Prgram leadership n a regular basis.

15 9 Criterin 1.0 The Public Health Prgram 1.2. Evaluatin. The prgram shall have an explicit prcess fr mnitring and evaluating its verall effrts against its missin, gals and bjectives; fr assessing the prgram s effectiveness in serving its varius cnstituencies; and fr using evaluatin results in nging planning and decisin making t achieve its missin. As part f the evaluatin prcess, the prgram must cnduct an analytical self-study that analyzes perfrmance against the accreditatin criteria defined in this dcument. a. Descriptin f the evaluatin prcesses used t mnitr prgress against bjectives defined in Criterin 1.1.d, including identificatin f the data systems and respnsible parties assciated with each bjective and with the evaluatin prcess as a whle. If these are cmmn acrss all bjectives, they need be described nly nce. If systems and respnsible parties vary by bjective r tpic area, sufficient infrmatin must be prvided t identify the systems and respnsible party fr each. The prcesses used t gather infrmatin fr ur measurable bjectives rely n bth qualitative and quantitative methds f data cllectin that are specifically tailred t each bjective. Similarly, the respnsible parties assciated with each bjective are specifically assigned accrding t their relevance t the designated bjective. Thse respnsible fr the bjective are als respnsible fr ensuring that data are cllected accrding t specific timelines, analyzing the data, ensuring prductin and distributin f metric reprts, taking crrective actins as required either individually r by bringing the issue t a cmmittee r prgram leader and mdifying the data cllectin t meet new needs. The Graduate Prgram Directr is ultimately respnsible fr all bjectives, but has specific respnsibility fr selected bjectives as nted. Table 1.2.a, belw, delineates the data systems used and the respnsible parties assigned t each f the Prgrams measurable bjectives as defined in Criterin 1.1.d.

Descriptin f hw the results f the evaluatin prcesses described in Criterin 1.2.a are mnitred, analyzed, cmmunicated and regularly used by managers respnsible fr enhancing the quality f prgrams and activities. Metric reprts are prduced and distributed n a regular schedule fr sme data, e.g., curse evaluatin scres fllwing the end f each semester. Mst data are cllected annually, e.g., prpsal submissin numbers, publicatins, grant award data, faculty service, and cmmunity interactins. As indicated in Table 1.2.a, a respnsible party is designated fr each strategic gal/bjective and is respnsible fr all related data cllectin, data analysis and distributin f results. Prductin and distributin f metric reprts crrespnding t the gals/bjectives and data systems is managed by the apprpriate administrative directr r prgram staff as designated by the respnsible party (e.g., Educatin Directr, Admissins Directr, Accreditatin and Dctral Administratin Directr). The Graduate Prgram Directr is ultimately respnsible fr all bjectives. Data frm all f these surces are used in varius meetings t assess prgress against bjectives. Sme examples f hw the data are used by cmmittee members and managers t enhance the quality f the prgrams are described in Table 1.2.b, belw. Mst f the cmmittee meetings nted in Table 1.2.b are held mnthly, which allws cntinual invlvement frm faculty, staff, and students. Thrugh these interactins, recmmendatins fr verall prcess imprvements, suggestins n methds t becming mre efficient, psitive feedback cncerning applied changes n prcedures, and even cnstructive criticism when things d nt wrk ut as planned are received by the decisin makers. All feedback is incrprated int ur planning initiatives. These varied frums have been indispensable fr mnitring, evaluating and prgressing tward ur gals, and bjectives. The Graduate Prgrams staff rutinely checks these data surces t infrm their decisins and actins. They share the respnsibility t identify trends, recmmend crrective actin as needed and implement apprved changes.

Descriptin f the manner in which the self-study dcument was develped, including effective pprtunities fr input by imprtant prgram cnstituents, including institutinal fficers, administrative staff, faculty, students, alumni and representatives f the public health cmmunity. An Accreditatin Wrkgrup was frmed in 2011 t fcus attentin n the accreditatin prcess, including the self-study. The members f the Wrkgrup, and their titles are in the table belw. Accreditatin Wrkgrup Name David Lee, Ph.D. Julie Krnfeld, Ph.D., MPH Heather Rse, MPH Rsalie Blunden, MBA Title Directr Graduate Prgrams Directr f Public Health Prgrams Directr f Accreditatin and Dctral Administratin Assistant Vice President, Research Supprt Operatins Frmer Assciate Dean f Public Health (Yale University) Jhn Alzate, MBA Prject Manager (thrugh May 2013) Anya Nanayakkara/Lurdes Mlleda MPH student emplyees The Accreditatin Wrkgrup met weekly and perfrmed a variety f activities including: Establish timelines Distribute assignments Create and review methds f data cllectin Cllect data and review it as it was cllected Analyze data Discuss appraches t invite participatin in the prcess Draft surveys Identify cnstituencies Create methds f btaining input frm members f each cnstituency Draft self-study sectins Cllectively review and edit the self study dcument Make the self study available n the web Cntact selected reviewers as drafts f sectins were upladed t the web Send brad ntificatins t cnstituent grups as drafts were available fr review React t cmments frm reviewers This same grup met mnthly with Department leadership fr their guidance and assistance.

25 19 The main methd by which the self-study dcument was made available t the varius prgram cnstituent grups is via a website lcated nline at This website is designed and rganized based n CEPH accreditatin criteria t make each sectin f the self-study dcument easy t identify and access. T help with the review f the self-study dcument, the website is als designed t allw submissin f feedback by any individual. The feedback is ed t the CEPH Accreditatin Wrkgrup, which is respnsible fr reviewing and acting upn received feedback frms. The feedback is included in the fllwing CEPH Accreditatin Wrkgrup weekly meeting, where it is discussed and if necessary brught t ther cnstituent grups fr deliberatin. A review panel f faculty was assigned fr each criterin as a near-final draft was cmpleted. Their task was t read the assigned criterin, make cmments, suggest revisins, prvide additinal data, questin assumptins and verify cnclusins. These faculty subgrups met with the Graduate Prgrams Directr t further discuss their feedback. Their input was critical t the accuracy and cmprehensin f the self-study reprt. The Department Chair als reviewed each sectin in detail as the near final draft f each majr sectin was cmpleted. His cmments prvided a glbal perspective assuring that the self study reflects hw the Graduate Prgrams fit int the master plan fr the Department f Public Health Sciences. Cmmunity partners, including capstne preceptrs, were sent an t be certain they were aware f the accreditatin prcess and the availability f the self study materials n the web. While their input was welcme n all aspects f the prgram, we pinted ut the mst pertinent sectins fr them t review. Current students in EPH 500 Intrductin t Public Health reviewed all sectins f the self-study as a class assignment. Students were sent an ntificatin that the self study was n the web and asked t review the dcument frm their unique perspective. Their feedback was received via the web feedback frm. Officers f the Public Health Alumni Assciatin were asked t review the self-study and submit cmments via the web feedback frm. Input n the Graduate Prgrams frm this grup is nt limited t their frmal cmments n the self study draft but is a cntinuus prcess as they interact with their frmer teachers and mentrs. University leadership input n the prgram, gathered in the nrmal curse f business meetings and less frmal cnversatins, is reflected thrughut the self-study dcument.

26 20 The Graduate Prgrams in Public Health wrk clsely with the Office f Graduate and Pstdctral Studies (OGPS) at the Miller Schl f Medicine. Dr. Zafar Nawaz, the Senir Assciate Dean fr Graduate Educatin and head f OGPS, was cnsulted thrughut the self study prcess. Once all sectins f the self-study dcument were cmplete and made available t all cnstituent grups fr feedback, the self study dcument was printed as a cmprehensive text fr a final review by the Accreditatin Wrkgrup t assess the cnsistency f the dcument t ensure chesiveness and verall cntinuity amng all the varius sectins f the self-study dcument. The Department Chair als tk a final lk at the self study at this pint, checking fr cnsistency between the final prduct, his gals fr the Graduate Prgrams and his plans fr the Department. Presentatins were made at faculty meetings t summarize the self-study dcument. This ensured that all faculty members were familiar with all sectins, even thugh they may have reviewed nly ne sectin in detail. e. Assessment f the extent t which this criterin is met, and an analysis f the prgram s strengths, weaknesses and plans relating t this criterin. This criterin is met. Strengths We strengthened weaknesses identified in earlier reviews by fcusing n clearly measureable bjectives. The measurable bjectives were recalibrated t supprt the rapid perid f grwth and expansin f the prgrams we have experienced in the past three years. Challenge While we have mnitred prgress t ur targets fr each bjective and used evaluatin results in nging planning and decisin making t achieve the missin, we have nt made enugh prgress in using these targets t assess the prgram s effectiveness in serving ur public health wrkfrce cnstituency. Plan Add qualitative and quantitative bjectives fr effectiveness in serving the public health wrkfrce in calendar 2014.

Descriptin f the prgram s invlvement and rle in the fllwing: budgeting and resurce allcatin, including budget negtiatins, indirect cst recveries, distributin f tuitin and fees and supprt fr fund-raising; persnnel recruitment, selectin and advancement, including faculty and staff; and academic standards and plicies, including establishment and versight f curricula. Budget and Resurce Allcatin The Department f Public Health Sciences is a full participant in the University budgeting and resurce allcatin prcesses. The University f Miami system perates n an annual fiscal year that begins June 1 and ends May 31. All budgets fr the Graduate Prgrams in Public Health are prepared annually and mnitred by the apprpriate prgram leadership (e.g., Prgram and

32 26 Divisin Directrs and Prgram Administratrs) in crdinatin with Ms. Margarita Jimenez, MBA, CRA, Assistant Chair, and under the verall directin f the Department Chair, Dr. Jsé Szapcznik. External graduate prgrams budgets and accunts such as the tuitin accunts fr the MPH/MSPH subsidy funds and the PhD in Epidemilgy and Bistatistics tuitin schlarships are mnitred by the apprpriate Graduate Prgrams Administratr in crdinatin with the Office f Graduate and Pstdctral Studies (OGPS). The budget allcatin frm the University f Miami-Flrida Internatinal University (FIU) cntract fllws the plicies f the cntract. The Department f Educatin legislative apprpriatin fr the UM FIU affiliatin is $150,000 per year and has remained the same since the prgram s inceptin. The purpse f this apprpriatin is t enhance the training f the public health wrkfrce in the State f Flrida. The Graduate Prgrams budget and resurce allcatin, within the Department f Public Health Sciences budget, are the respnsibility f the Graduate Prgrams Directrs and apprpriate Prgram Administratrs. The prpsed department budget is sent t the Senir Vice President fr Medical Affairs and Dean f the Miller Schl f Medicine fr review and apprval. The Graduate Prgrams has five primary budget accunts: tw established frm the University fr the PhD in Epidemilgy and MS/PhD in Bistatistics, tw established fr the teaching and general peratins f the Graduate Prgrams and ne established fr the fur year MD/MPH dual degree. Indirect Cst Recvery Indirect cst (IDC) revenue is generated by ur highly prlific faculty, as a result f their externally funded research. An amunt f unrestricted funding equal t this revenue surce is returned t the Department and distributed t individual faculty thrugh an incentive prgram. The prgram returns a specific percent f the IDC realized in the frm f a discretinary fund r a salary supplement. The remaining IDC is used as unrestricted funds fr the department. The Graduate Prgrams are nt invlved in the generatin, distributin r spending this revenue surce. Distributin f Tuitin and Fees The Graduate Prgrams in Public Health secured a tuitin recapture agreement in June 2009 (FY 10) prviding that 50% f the first $240,000 f tuitin revenue and 75% f the subsequent tuitin revenue generated by the Master s in Public Health Prgrams (MPH and MSPH) be returned directly t the Graduate Prgrams perating budget. This surce f funding is utilized t imprve the quality f each degree prgram, increase the number f curses ffered each academic year, increase tuitin supprt fr exceptinal students, and t expand staff/administratin in the Graduate Prgrams. In 2011, the tuitin frm a new prgram, the Master f Science in Bistatistics was added t the agreement. An additinal recapture arrangement fr the new MD/MPH prgram was als secured in 2011 (FY 12).
