How can we transform public health into an innovative, forward-thinking community of change agents willing to act quickly to meet the challenges and public health crises in our world? The Health Policy and Management curriculum at CUNY SPH has been preparing public health professionals to become innovation-driven leaders willing to challenge the status quo.


Today’s guest on the Making Public Health Personal Podcast is Dr. Terry Huang, Professor and Chair in the Department of Health Policy and Management at CUNY SPH. He is also Director of the Center for Systems and Community Design at CUNY SPH, and developed a public health entrepreneurship platform called Firefly Innovations. Dr. Huang speaks with host Laura Meoli-Ferrigon about how his interdisciplinary background inspired a hands-on curriculum which instills leadership skills onto our students so they can become innovative, forward-thinking leaders in public health. We’ll discuss why the entrepreneurial mindset is more important than ever, and how to use it to transform their organization, their community and society at large.


Whether you’re interested in being an entrepreneur who starts their own business, or an intrapreneur who brings these important skills into their organization, the Health Policy and Management curriculum at CUNY SPH can give you the tools you need to become a leader in public health.
