On Aug. 7, SOPHIA: The Community of HiAP Professionals and the Kansas Health Institute hosted a virtual forum that explored the different ways to incorporate Health Impact Assessments (HIA) and Health in All Policies (HiAP) into the classroom and academic settings. The event featured opening remarks from Keshia Pollack Porter, Ph.D., M.P.H., Dean of the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and three dynamic panel discussions. The panels featured distinguished faculty and nationally recognized experts who have successfully integrated HiAP and HIA into academic settings—through stand-alone courses, embedded curricula and innovative partnerships.
All speakers shared real-world examples and actionable tips to inspire and support a variety of approaches for integrating HiAP into academic offerings.
