Collaboration Efforts
The University of Florida College of Public Health and Health Professions was founded on the idea of collaboration. When the concept of a UF Health Science Center was developed more than 50 years ago, administrators emphasized the need for "integration and coordination" among the health professions in the college with the other health center colleges.
Today, faculty members collaborate across the public health and health professions disciplines, and with faculty in the five other colleges in the Health Science Center and all over campus. The college has strong ties with the Emerging Pathogens Institute, the Institute on Aging, the Center for Latin American Studies and the McKnight Brain Institute.
Researchers with the college's Florida Trauma Rehabilitation Center for Returning Military Personnel are collaborating with the Veterans Health Administration, including the VA research centers at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center, rehabilitation professional associations, consumer organizations and other UF programs to transfer new rehabilitation approaches from the lab to the clinic.
