Podcasting Engagement in Public Health

The School of Public Health (SPH) at the University of Minnesota has a podcast page on its web site. The page has rich and diverse content:

* Public Health Moment, which asks and answers the question "What health policy issues are important in this election?"

* Public Lectures, currently presenting "Where is the Political and Economic Leadership to Balance Health Gain and Health Care?" by Dr. Derek Yach, Director of Health Equity, Rockefeller Foundation

* Public Health Planet, a video highlighting several SPH partnerships with the community, on environmental toxins and eating disorders

* Blogs by SPH students, about their lives in the Twin Cities and their field experiences in Chile, Ghana, Thailand, Kenya, and elsewhere.

The page is very content-rich, and the video may take a long time to fully download, depending on the speed of your connection; but it's worth the wait.
