John Hopkins Summer Institutes
Summer Institutes connect participants with public health leaders in injury prevention and control to explore real-world concerns and solutions for injury prevention.
The Center has two Summer Institutes, Principles and Practice of Injury Prevention and Advanced Seminar in Injury Prevention, offered in alternating years. Both are open to the public. Students may take them for academic credit. This page offers information on both the summer institutes, how to register, and scholarship information.
The Center also co-teaches the Winter Institute course "Prevention of Unintentional Injuries in American Indian Communities" in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian Health (CAIH) and the Indian Health Service Injury Prevention Program. For more information on this course, visit CAIH's website or contact CAIH.
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Principles and Practice of Injury Prevention (305.670.79)
The class will meet each Wednesday and Friday, from May 31 to June 16 from noon - 2:30 p.m. ET. The class will also include 3 hours of recorded sessions per week, for a total of 9 recorded hours and 24 hours of total sessions. The class will be a mix of synchronous online with some asynchronous online activities.
This competency-based course uses a problem-solving paradigm to introduce the principles and practice of injury prevention. Students use class lectures in behavioral, biomechanical, environmental, epidemiological, legislative, policy and community partnership approaches to injury prevention to develop a strategy for addressing a specific injury problem. Students work in groups for practical application sessions to develop skills learned in the lectures. At the conclusion of the course, the groups present their strategies for addressing the injury problem they have been assigned and receive feedback from their peers and the instructors.
Advanced Seminar in Injury Prevention (305.865.79)
CPI: Jeffrey Michael
The class will meet each Tuesday and Thursday, from June 6 - June 29 from 1 - 3 p.m. ET. The class has a total of 16 hours of sessions. The class will meet synchronously online.
The Injury Summer Institute broadens, advances, and challenges existing skills and knowledge of injury prevention students and/or multi-disciplined injury prevention practitioners. It applies the National Core Competencies for Injury and Violence Prevention to the Safe System approach to road safety. In addition to the interactive synchronous context, students engage with recorded content and apply Safe Systems principles to their own communities to promote skill building and experiential learning.
PSM is offering scholarships to PSM Members interested in completing the Summer Institute. Please send email to lbates@safermaryland.edu expressing interest in receiving PSM Scholarships.
