College of Public Health

UArizona Health Sciences is uniquely poised to help address Arizona's long-term health care needs, President Robert C. Robbins said in a presentation to the Arizona Board of Regents.

Mel Zuckerman, the founder of Canyon Ranch and namesake of the University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health, died on March 18, surrounded by family at his home. He was 94.

Increases in National Institutes of Health awards to several UArizona Health Sciences colleges led to a strong showing in the annual rankings.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention selected the University of Arizona Health Sciences as one of five national sites that will be tracking the burden, distribution and impact of post COVID-19 conditions.

A $4 million Regents' Research Grant will allow researchers from UArizona and Arizona State University to test new ways to reduce the risk of occupation-related cancer for firefighters.

The $3.5 million grant from the Department of Energy is part of a larger project that will bring together researchers from Arizona's three universities to study climate in the state's Sun Corridor.

A College of Public Health course, now available in Spanish, was the first to be translated as part of a project launched by the university's National Center for Interpretation.

El Centro Nacional de Interpretación de la Universidad de Arizona ha creado el proyecto de plan de estudios multilingüe para traducir los cursos universitarios a diferentes idiomas. La Educación sobre Salud Comunitaria para Brotes de Enfermedades del Colegio de Salud Pública, ahora disponible en español, es la primera en ser traducida.

The Arizona Area Health Education Centers Program will receive funding over five years to continue to address workforce shortages through statewide education programs and partnerships.
