The global health concentration provides an opportunity for science-oriented students with an interest in communicable diseases to receive specialized training in the recognition, identification, diagnosis, surveillance, control, and prevention of public health problems related to communicable diseases throughout the world, with particular emphasis on the problems of Florida and underdeveloped nations. Students graduating from the program will receive training within five core domains which are central to the study of global communicable disease: 1) Tropical and Emerging Infections, 2) Microbiology, 3) Immunology and Genetics, 4) Public Health Interventions and Disease Control and 5) Applied Global Communicable Disease. In addition to the M.P.H. MPH Core Courses, students will be required to take a minimum of one course from within each domain. Students will then work with their faculty advisor to select a more narrow focus for elective courses offerings. It is anticipated that students will take all of the courses within their specific domain of interest.

In addition to the overall Master of Public Health degree competencies, Global Communicable Diseases graduates will be able to: - Interpret the natural history of disease-causing parasites, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other organisms of major public health concern, as well as the disease processes and clinical manifestations caused by those infectious organisms;
- Identify the appropriate diagnosis, epidemiology, surveillance, control, treatment and prevention of communicable diseases;
- Describe the natural human defenses, the appropriate use of diagnostic techniques and serological surveillance, and the role of preventive interventions and treatments such as vaccines and antibiotics against communicable diseases;
- Identify the cultural, social, and economic factors that contribute to the incidence and prevalence, as well as the transmission, control, treatment, and prevention of communicable diseases;
- Identify the public health conditions and problems related to the surveillance and control of communicable diseases in developing countries;
- Design programs for the surveillance and control of communicable diseases;
- Apply principles of immunology, molecular biology and other essential biological sciences disciplines in the laboratory settings for research and the diagnosis, surveillance, control, treatment, and prevention of communicable diseases;
- Prepare and present information about communicable diseases to other members of health-related professions and to members of the public in a professional and effective manner;
- Explain factors such as biology, ecology and dynamics of arthropod vector populations that affect transmission of specific communicable diseases such as malaria and dengue; and
- Recognize the roles of the laboratory in the Public Health system and have a thorough understanding of the complexity and inter-connectivity of all levels of laboratory services.
