    Background:

    • Public health activities are crucial for hospital operations.
    • Understanding the current organization of these activities is essential for improvement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the organization and scope of public health activities in French university hospitals.
    • To gather insights from public health physicians on their roles and challenges.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was distributed to public health physicians and division chiefs in 41 French university hospitals in early 2018.
    • The survey data was supplemented with 10 in-depth telephone interviews.

    Main Results:

    • 28 out of 33 responding hospitals had a dedicated public health division, often combined with other specialties.
    • Epidemiology, biostatistics, and health information were the most prevalent activities.
    • Respondents identified health promotion, health economics, and big data analytics as areas for future development.

    Conclusions:

    • Most French university hospitals have a public health division, but organizational structures vary and are evolving.
    • Despite challenges like physician shortages, public health activities are diversifying.
    • Collaboration with external public health departments is recommended for further progress.
