Delta Omega ( ΔΩ ) - это почетное общество по изучению общественного здравоохранения , основанное на базе школы общественного здравоохранения Блумберга Университета Джонса Хопкинса .

История [ править ]

Компания Delta Omega была основана в 1924 году двумя аспирантами Школы общественного здравоохранения Блумберга Университета Джонса Хопкинса . Учредителями были:

Д-р Эдгар Эрскин Хьюм
Д-р Клод В. Митчелл

Хьюм был членом армейского медицинского корпуса с 1916 по 1951 год и уже служил за границей, борясь с эпидемиями тифа в Сибири, России и в Неаполе, Италия. Митчелл около десяти лет работал ассистентом хирурга в Службе общественного здравоохранения США. Позже он занялся частной медицинской практикой, проработав 50 лет в Силвер-Спринг, штат Мэриленд. ^[1]

Идеальный вариант для Delta Omega - это ежедневные поездки между Балтимором и Вашингтоном. Оба мужчины стремились поднять относительно молодую профессию общественного здравоохранения до уровня, аналогичного другим профессиям, и как таковые, чтобы у нее было собственное братство. Хьюм был первым, кто настоял на том, чтобы братство носило почетный характер, и хотя Митчелл первоначально предлагал социальную основу, он вскоре согласился со своим другом, что группы должны быть сформированы как общество чести. Они консультировались с членами других братств и экспертами в области здравоохранения в других областях. Группа из семнадцати студентов, одного преподавателя и одного выпускника была выбрана, чтобы стать членами-учредителями отделения Джонса Хопкинса. Эта группа немедленно сформировала комитеты для разработки конституции и символики. Конституция была ратифицирована14 мая 1924 года . ^[1]

Расширение началось в течение первого года. Вернувшись из летних каникул, Хьюм сообщил об успехе на восточном побережье, в то время как Ричард Болт, член организации, работал над организацией групп на Западе. К собранию 15 октября 1924 г. главы были утверждены в Гарварде ( бета-глава ) и Массачусетском технологическом институте ( гамма-глава ). Вскоре за ними последуют Мичиган ( глава "Дельта" ) и Йель ( глава "Эпсилон" ). Расширение и рост продолжались быстро, несмотря на некоторые проблемы с ростом из-за высоких темпов. Первое калифорнийское отделение в Калифорнийском университете ( отделение Зетов ) фактически охватило всю страну к марту 1926 года ^[1].

Деятельность Delta Omega была серьезно ограничена во время Второй мировой войны и была полностью приостановлена в период с 1942 по 1944 год из-за приоритетов военного времени. Однако дополнительное давление оказали организационные разногласия. В то время Delta Omega предлагала членство только после завершения года проживания, то есть после учебы в бакалавриате и в медицинском университете. Это фактически привело к тому, что контроль над обществом стал принадлежать преподавателям. Кроме того, в Johns Hopkins деятельность братства в некоторых случаях дублировала ту, которую предлагала сама школа. Последовали дебаты по поводу того факта, что некоторые члены вскоре после избрания откажутся от практики общественного здравоохранения на официальном уровне, чтобы заняться частной практикой. Фактически, основатель Митчелл, возглавлявший отделение AlphaУшел в отставку с руководящей должности, когда ушел в частную практику. Результатом этой дискуссии, подробно описанной в «Истории Братства» ^[1], стало приостановление работы отделения «Альфа» , которое возобновилось в школе только в 1978 году. В 1948 году началось оживление, но на это потребовалось время, и некоторые главы так и не появились повторно. В 1960-1970-е годы цикл лекций был расширен. Но похоже, что потребовалось оживление главы Alpha в 1978 году, чтобы вызвать новый виток расширения, который продолжается по сей день. ^[1]

Currently, there are over 110 chapters with over 20,000 members throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, Beirut, and Taiwan.^[2]The society's mission is to promote excellence in contributing to the field of public health and advancing the health of people in every aspect, both in the United States and internationally.^[2]

Membership[edit]

Membership in Delta Omega reflects the dedication of an individual to quality in the field of public health and to protection and advancement of the health of all people. Election to the society is based on outstanding performance – scholarship in students, teaching and research in faculty members, and community service in alumni. Election to membership in Delta Omega is intended, not only to recognize merit, but also, to encourage further excellence in, and devotion to, public health work.^[3]

Each chapter must be associated with a Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH)- accredited school and is limited to inducting no more than 20% of the graduating student body, and 10% of undergraduates. GPA requirements are up to each chapter; historically, each inductee has been the top 25% of their class for academic performance. Public health faculty and alumni may also be inducted, but no more than 3% of faculty may be inducted from one program.^[4]

Honorary members[edit]

In addition to the regularly elected members, chapters and the national executive board invite persons possessing exceptional qualifications, who have attained meritorious national or international distinction in the field to become honorary members of the society. These members include:

Name	Meritorious Service	Ref
Peter Buxtun	Researcher, exposed Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment	^[3]
Mona Hanna-Attisha	Researcher, exposed Flint water crisis	^[3]
Herbert Hoover	Former U.S. President	^[3]
John Edward Porter	Former U.S. Congressman	^[3]
Dr. Jonas Salk	Inventor of the Polio vaccine	^[3]
David Satcher	Former U.S. Surgeon General	^[3]
Shannon Watts	Gun Safety Activist	^[3]
Gretchen Whitmer	Governor of Michigan	^[3]

Activities[edit]

The National Office of Delta Omega conducts yearly activities in addition to the individual chapters. Most importantly an annual business meeting is held each year in conjunction with the meeting of the American Public Health Association (APHA). During the meeting the Delta Omega National Council, consisting of representatives from the chapters, meet to discuss initiatives and activities on a national and chapter level.^[3]

In addition to the annual business meeting, Delta Omega hosts a national student poster competition, honoring exceptional student research, and a national curriculum award, to honor innovative public health curricula. Each year the selected poster presenters are given the opportunity to present their award-winning research at the APHA annual meeting. The curriculum award winners present their work at the APHA annual meeting as well as in front of the Delta Omega National Council. Chapters also conduct a variety of activities throughout the year on their campus and in their communities including; scholarship competitions, research awards, socials, lectures, community service projects and many others.^[3]

Publications[edit]

Delta Omega values the advancement of public health education, practice and research and has therefore taken on an initiative to preserve Public Health Classics. For the past decade, the society has sought to preserve and promote public health history by identifying and reprinting classic works in public health. Classics may be books, scientific journal articles, technical reports, legislation or other written publications or multi-media productions. The classics are selected for their historical value and significant contribution to the profession and science of public health. These documents are usually out of print or not widely available in libraries. Delta Omega places the classics on its Web site to make them freely available to all members. ^[3]

Chapters[edit]

Delta Omega has chartered 122 chapters, most of which remain active. Active chapters are noted in bold, inactive chapters noted in italics. ^[3]
