Our Faculty
Our faculty are dedicated to research and training that advance scientific understanding of behaviors related to health and how to influence them and improve health outcomes.
The Department of Health, Behavior and Society is also fortunate to have a distinguished part-time faculty, including leaders in behavioral and social sciences and public health. These faculty teach courses, serve as preceptors and are available to guide students seeking career counseling.
