With the increasing frequency and impact of public health incidents in the world’s medical and health services in recent years

it has become extremely necessary to train public health talents suitable for the medical environment in China. This article mainly discusses the training model of professional postgraduate students in public health in Australian universities (Sydney University and Melbourne University) and Japanese universities (Tokyo University and Hokkaido University). Both countries attach importance to the education of practical ability. Australian universities focus on the training of all-round and comprehensive public health talents

while Japanese universities emphasizes the training of professional public health talents. At present

there is a lack of a clear understanding of public health and detailed standards in China

which is the main problem of public health education in China. A detailed and efficient training model of public health talents should be established based on the unique features of our country.
