Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Summer Institute
The Center for Injury Research & Policy 13th Annual Summer Institute: Principles and Practice of Injury Prevention, July 11-16, 2004, Baltimore, Maryland
This one-week intensive training program is offered each summer to a class of 60 students interested in studying injury prevention and control. This year, the Institute is being held in July at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The Institute uses a problem-solving paradigm to organize lectures, discussions and small group activities. At the beginning of the week, students are given an injury problem of particular relevance or interest to them. Lectures subsequently address behavioral, biomechanical, environmental, epidemiological, legislative, policy and community partnership approaches to injury prevention and control. Throughout the week students utilize the skills, tools and knowledge gained from the presentations and interaction with the faculty to develop strategies for addressing real world injury problems. Students who choose to attend the Institute for academic credit will be evaluated on their participation in group exercises and a final paper. For those who do not choose to apply for academic credit, a certificate of attendance is distributed at the end of the week. CHES credits are also available.
