Sažetak
De Leeuw (1) proposed eight structure models of schools of public health, based on research in Europe and the United States (Table 1). “ Andrija Štampar” School of Public Health is a unique teaching public health institution in a way that it does not fit into any of the eight structure models proposed by de Leeuw (1). A part of Zagreb Medical School, but the institution of its own, it comprises seven departments: Medical Statistics, Epidemiology and Medical Informatics ; Social Medicine and Organization of Health Care ; Medical Sociology and Health Economics ; Environmental and Occupational Health ; Family Medicine ; Microbiology and Virology ; and Educational Technology. The departments are multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary, with a variety of staff resources, and are actively involved in undergraduate and postgraduate education (this is the main difference when compared with the otherwise similar US model). The uniqueness of our model is therefore not only organizational, but we also have the rare opportunity to provide education in public health at three levels: undergraduate, Master (MPh) level, and the postgraduate PhD program. The 1st level (undergraduate) enables integration of public health and medical education. The 2nd level (MPh) provides a more specific public health education, providing skills and knowledge needed for future health managers, health policy decision makers, and public health professionals. The 3rd level (PhD) represents scientific approach, providing constant link between practice and research. The School is therefore the integrating link of all three levels of public health education, ensuring a constant connection between education, science, and practice. In the spirit of the Bologna process (2), we are trying to establish a system which allows mobility of students and teachers, usage of ECTS system, and promotion of European co-operation in quality assurance.
