- Civic Responsibility: We believe that each of us has a role to play in advancing knowledge and improving health, and we work to instill a sense of civic responsibility among students and partners organizations with whom we collaborate.
- Integrity & Professional Ethics: We bring a commitment to integrity and professional ethics in all our efforts.
- Diversity: We believe that diversity in our faculty, students, and in our practice sites enhances our ability to understand the perspectives and the circumstances that influence health.
- Excellence: We are committed to excel in all that we do, and believe that our faculty and alumni provide leadership and vision to improve the health of people and communities.
- Peace: We research and mitigate the public health effects of conflicts on population and systems as a contribution to achieving peace and justice.
