Our People

	Thomas A. Burke, PhD, MPH Associate Dean for Public Health Practice and Training Professor, Department of Health Policy and Management Dr. Burke brings a wealth of public health experience, both in academia and public policy, to the position of associate dean for public health practice and training. Primarily charged with promoting the application of the School’s research to practice, Dr. Burke serves as an advocate for faculty, students and public health practitioners. “Promoting public health practice by bridging the gap between research and application is something I have been working toward throughout my career,” says Burke. “As a person who has worked in public health agencies and academia, I hope to unite the very different but interdependent worlds of public health. If the two can successfully work together we strengthen our research, advance the practice of public health, and ultimately improve the health of our communities. At the same time we can enrich our academic training and create public health ambassadors who promote this shared vision.”
	James Kucik, Stacy Farr, Adele Shartzer, Frederic Selck Doctoral Students, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Department of Health Policy and Management In response to a special request by U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS), a number of JHSPH student-volunteers have begun assisting on an H1N1-related surveillance program, the Hospital Available Beds for Emergencies and Disasters (HAvBED) project. The program is administered through the office of the HHS Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response and is expected to improve situational awareness of the health care system in the US. Specifically, facility-level data are being collected and analyzed so that localized areas of hospitals confronting shortages of beds and supplies can be identified so that resources can be redirected to address acute needs. The JHSPH students are assisting with the collection and analysis of data as well as generating reports for White House staff.
