“…Design thinking is not a standard subject domain or practice method taught in public health schools, ( 44 ) and systems thinking—although now listed as a competency of graduate programs accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH)—is not addressed in adequate depth in most public health programs. Interest is emerging in offering design thinking and entrepreneurship training in public health curriculum to teach future public health professionals how to create and apply business models, among other skills (such as marketing, finance, and business development and operations) that are important to scaling public health solutions ( 45 – 47 ). Such exposure to other disciplines can help set the stage for public health professionals to reach across disciplines and work with diverse collaborators, including those in the private sector.…”

Many public health challenges are characterized by complexity that reflects the dynamic systems in which they occur. Such systems involve multiple interdependent factors, actors, and sectors that influence health, and are a primary driver of challenges of insufficient implementation, sustainment, and scale of evidence-based public health interventions. Implementation science frameworks have been developed to help embed evidence-based interventions in diverse settings and identify key factors that facilitate or hinder implementation. These frameworks are largely static in that they do not explain the nature and dynamics of interrelationships among the identified determinants, nor how those determinants might change over time. Furthermore, most implementation science frameworks are top-down, deterministic, and linear, leaving critical gaps in understanding of both how to intervene on determinants of successful implementation and how to scale evidence-based solutions. Design thinking and systems science offer methods for transforming this problem-oriented paradigm into one that is solution-oriented. This article describes these two approaches and how they can be integrated into implementation science strategies to promote implementation, sustainment, and scaling of public health innovation, ultimately resulting in transformative systems changes that improve population health.

“…A noteworthy avenue for future research involves delving into the differences between curricula and programming in private versus public schools of public health. Uncovering potential distinctions in resources, course offerings, and structural support for innovation-based education can provide nuanced perspectives on the educational landscape (10). Additionally, exploring how geographic and sociodemographic factors influence the availability and effectiveness of innovation-focused programs offers a deeper understanding of regional variations and potential disparities.…”

This paper examines the current state of social innovation and entrepreneurship programming, courses, and centers within schools of public health through a survey data analysis. This report presents a cross-sectional survey conducted among faculty members of public health schools in the United States. The survey aims to determine the availability and current state of student-centered programs and courses centered around social innovation and entrepreneurship within schools of public health. Insights were drawn from 19 professionals across 15 schools of public health. Uncertainties surround the sustainability of current programs, with insufficient funding, human resources, and the need to teach more pressing topics identified as the most significant obstacles. Key areas identified as opportunities for growth were faculty engagement, expertise, and funding to expand more structured programming.
