About
Andrew Comrie serves as the Chief Academic Officer for the Arizona Board of Regents, where he is responsible for system strategy, planning, and analysis in academic affairs, including fostering academic access and excellence across Arizona’s public universities. He holds an academic appointment as a Professor in the School of Geography, Development & Environment at the University of Arizona, with joint appointments in Hydrology & Atmospheric Sciences and in Public Health. His research focuses on two broad areas: the first links climate with health, pathogens, vectors, and broader atmospheric environmental issues, examining how disease patterns shift in space and time with changes in climate; the second draws on his experience as a senior institutional leader to explore questions related to resource flow supporting the university’s multiple missions. Dr. Comrie has published widely in specialized and interdisciplinary international journals, and his work has been funded by federal, state, and local agencies. He has served as an editor and editorial board member for respected international scholarly journals and on many professional committees and boards. Additionally, he is the author of the open-access book 'Like Nobody’s Business: An Insider’s Guide to How US University Finances Really Work'.

= 46) are focused on this climate change and health. These courses cover a wide array of topics with an emphasis on conveying fundamental concepts. In-depth assessment revealed a need for integrating learning opportunities that build practical skills useful in a hands-on public health practice environment. This assessment indicates the limited availability of climate-health course offerings available to graduate students in accredited schools. The findings are used to propose an educational framework to integrate climate change into public health curricula. The proposed framework, while rooted in existing directives, adopts a tiered approach that can be readily applied by institutions training the next generation of public health leaders.
