Universities’ Role in Curriculum Reform: Ecological Public Health Education for Sustainable Health Development | Chapter 10 | Current Innovations in Disease and Health Research Vol. 7

 In demanding that the foresight of new transition in this 21st Century has immediately emerged, as the eco-tangible and climate arbitrated health risks have increasingly enhance a priority for tenable health associations. This chapter specifically urges academies to take the lead in educational program reform by combining these epistemology competencies through life-changing health education calendar. In order to support sustainable fitness developments in change across intergenerations, it is pivotal for universities acting proactively as competency building blocks for preparation all healthcare professionals accompanying the necessary essentialities for a transformative fitness education timetable. According to Omran’s three key stages of epidemiologic transition as in the Age of (i) Pestilence and hungriness, (ii) Preceding Pandemics, (iii) Degenerative and Man-Made Diseases, plus with the later fourth stage of (iv) Delayed Degenerative Diseases as supposed by Olshansky and Ault, all of which shows liberal shifts in disease patterns expressed as in these typical and successive stages are scarcely easy. Especially at this time under these large-scale changes of worldwide environmental degradation and feeling crisis in the Anthropocene that really is predominantly moving global community health. Henceforth, Li has postulated the latest or following the fifth stage of epidemiologic change should affiliate with organization the Age of Environmental and Climate Mediated Health Risks. For this reason, the current 'Bio-medical' model of disease-familiarize only emphasizes from ancient times four epidemiological stages appears expected insufficient under these existential exceptional phenomena accompanying actual and potential destructive and highly complex dynamics of direct and roundabout effects on widely various health impacts in this place new epoch. Planetary health is immediately scientifically financed as the ultimate environmental determinant that influences sustainable incident in health, accordingly the establishment of energy education on ecological community health is crucial to the worldwide public health in change under this new epoch of the Anthropocene.
