Clinical Public Health: Local and Global Applications, with Ross Upshur

This presentation will introduce the concept of clinical public health. The idea that public health is some how clinical and that clinical work entails public health seems antithetical to many peoples understanding of both practices. Ross Upshur will discuss the evolution of clinical public health as a concept and outline promising applications for health systems locally and globally.
