Description
The Department of Social and Preventive Medicine (SPM) is the first Public Health Department in Malaysia and was established in 1964. It is the premier academic destination for public health professionals and academics over the past half a century. Over time, we have consistently increased our academic course offerings, staffing and student intake numbers. The SPM Department first started offering the Master of Public Health (MPH) program in 1973. Since then, the department has further offered various Master by Specialty programs in various core disciplines of Public Health and Master of Medical Science in Public Health (MMedScPH) program. The dynamism of the Department under the previous headships has resulted in the Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) program.
The strengths of the SPM Department lies with her multi-disciplinary expertise pooled from our academics, the appointment of visiting professors from renowned universities, and the regular audit exercises on her curriculum by assessors from established universities in Australia and European countries. We ensure the relevance of our curriculum and quality of our teaching by joining the National Conjoint Committee of Public Health program at national level, Asia-Pacific Academic Consortium for Public Health (APACPH), and ASEAN University Network (AUN) accreditations at international level, besides meeting the standards as specified by the Malaysian Qualifying Agency (MQA) on our programme.
The department has been and continues to be the hub for quality Public Health research in Malaysia with the establishment of three research centres. Julius Centre University of Malaya (JCUM), the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Evidence-Based Medicine, has successfully pioneered the fields of clinical epidemiology and evidence-based medicine (EBM) and is a centre of excellence for clinical research. The Centre for Population Health (CePH) conducts many community intervention projects and actively contributes to our local communities. The Centre of Occupation and Environment Health (COEHUM) provides consultancies in various occupational and environmental areas. It has also managed to secure research grants from Social Security Organisation (SOCSO).
The number of students in recent years has been overwhelming, especially the Master of Medical Science and PhD, in various Public Health disciplines. We have had to limit our acceptance to only those with the highest potential. The Public Health relevance, scope, and quality of our graduates have been complimented by many local and international universities.
We are a team that aspires for transparency and togetherness akin to a family. This team spirit has been essential in organizing various faculty and university events, and international level conferences. We are well supported by the higher management at faculty and at the university level and sincerely thank them for their support in our pursuit of education and research excellence.
