Abstract

Environmental disasters and their prevention have generated a large demand for trained public health professionals in environmental health. Team based learning (TBL) and problem based learning (PBL) are essential to develop public health practitioners’ critical thinking skills. A graduate level introductory environmental science course was designed to cover 15 environmental domains reinforced by six TBL and PBL assignments. We conclude that PBL and TBL are innovative approaches in helping students meet the core competencies for the environmental components of a master of public health. This course structure and approach could be successfully implemented in other classes.

Keywords: Public Health education, Team based learning (TBL), Problem based learning (PBL)
