Dr. Hein is convinced health promotion is critical to public health, and thus she is enthusiastic about what she teaches. Dr. Hein’s work is to create space for students to question injustice, to conduct evidence-based needs assessment, and to create plans to positively impact health disparity. She wants her students to be well trained, and it is her fortunate job to help them become competent, critical, and effective health promotion specialists.

Research Interests

As the demands for competent public health professionals increases, systems are needed for measuring proficiency and preparation of public health students across institutions and across discipline.
