Training tomorrow’s public health leaders: the impact of UC Irvine’s new health professional school | University of California Health

Transitioning to the UC Irvine Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health will expand its role in the region’s public health system.

Partnerships with state and community agencies and organizations, combined with expert faculty, committed students and a mission for community engagement through a health equity lens, means the new UC Irvine Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health is well suited to help address some of Southern California’s most pressing public health challenges.  

UC Irvine Center for Population, Inequality, and Policy elevated to Organized Research Unit on campus

Upgraded status provides supportive infrastructure for center’s research on causes and consequences of socioeconomic inequality. “CPIP’s research focus is timely and of fundamental importance to society as we confront issues of an aging population, fertility decline, high-profile debates over immigration and income inequality and appropriate policy responses, and more. Being designated an ORU guarantees a baseline of support for our mission and positions us to increase the scope and impact of our activities,” says David Neumark, center co-director and Distinguished Professor of economics in the School of Social Sciences.

Additional co-directors include Tim A. Bruckner, professor and Chancellor’s fellow of health, society & behavior in the Wen Health, and Jade Jenkins, associate professor in the School of Education.
