Abstract:
We presented here an overview of the international innovation of public health and introduced our community-based educational practice of public health. We also reported it was effective for public health education to let students participate together with teachers in the cooperative movement developing healthy community and let them learn community dynamics, skills of participatory action research and the process of policy making. Today, the under-and post-graduate education of new public health will be effctively performed by participating in the practical healthy community project, which is performed cooperatively by communities, social resources and the university.
