title: Public health practice in schools of public health: is there a fit?
abstract: Public health practice has been a part of schools of public health for a long time and yet it is still an emerging field of scholarship. Practice faculty often are isolated in their schools and not part of the mainstream. This article explores the elements of culture that are necessary to support a practice focus in a school of public health.
