Gerald and Patricia Turpanjian CHS is a member of the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER). Gerald and Patricia Turpanjian CHS is affiliated with the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health (Baltimore, Maryland, USA) ranked #1 among schools of public health according to U.S. News & World Report. The guiding framework for approaching all public health issues developed at Johns Hopkins and used at the College of Health Sciences has been coined the “Problem Solving Paradigm”. The two-year MPH curriculum is organized around this guiding framework, which first provides students a conceptual overview of the diverse profession of public health and the team-oriented approach to professional practice. Students proceed through the program as part of a defined cohort, fostering group spirit and gaining experience in multi-disciplinary group problem solving, project leadership, and management ([https://chs.aua.am/mph/](null)). The Center for Health Services Research and Development (CHSR) is a direct extension of Gerald and Patricia Turpanjian CHS’s educational program, providing a service to the professional public health community while providing training and employment opportunities for our students and graduates [[www.chsr.aua.am](null)].
