Design Thinking in Public and Population Health: A Framework from My New Textbook

In this solo episode, the podcast host, Dr. Kee Chan shares the inspiration, framework, and real-world applications behind her new textbook, Public and Population Health: Perspectives for Health Systems Management, published by the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE).

Drawing from years of teaching public health management at the University of Illinois Chicago alongside co-author Richard Sewell, Dr. Chan highlights why design thinking and systems thinking are essential to solving today’s “wicked” health problems. This episode is both a behind-the-scenes look at the book and a conversation about why leadership, empathy, and strategic thinking are critical for the next generation of public health professionals.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- Why design thinking belongs in public health classrooms and leadership circles.

- What makes this textbook different from traditional public health texts.

- How students and instructors can use the book to bridge theory and practice.

- Key topics and tools from Chapter 2: Design Thinking for Population Health.

- Why blending public health and population health perspectives is necessary in today’s systems.

Who this episode is for:

- Public health, healthcare administration, and nonprofit management students.

- Faculty seeking practical, case-based curriculum aligned with CEPH and CAHME competencies.

- Practitioners moving into leadership roles in health systems, community organizations, or policy.

- Anyone looking to integrate innovation, equity, and systems change into their work.
