The Johns Hopkins Northeast Regional Academic Environmental Public Health Center

The Center hosted an Environmental Public Health Tracking Training Course based at Hopkins from July 26-29, 2004.
The Northeast Regional Academic Center, working collaboratively with the MD Board of Sanitarians, Conference of Maryland Environmental Health Directors, Maryland Association of County Health Officers, Maryland Department of the Environment, Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, representatives from Salisbury State University, and centers and institutes at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, developed a registered sanitarian review course, held from October 4-8 and 25-29, 2004. This course was put on collaborative with the Johns Hopkins Education and Research Center for Occupational Safety and Health and the Maryland Association of Counties. This class helped to teach sanitarians attempting to pass the required registered sanitarian exam, as per the needs expressed by the Association of Counties and by local environmental health sanitarians. The class contained 42 sanitarians-in-training and was considered to be very successful based on student evaluations and exams administered throughout the course. In fact, the class of sanitarians-in-training who took the registered sanitarian exam in December 2004 enjoyed a 59% pass rate as compared to a 0% pass rate for the previous exam. Furthermore, students who took our review course were more likely statistically to pass the exam than students who did not take the course. We continue to meet with the educational committee of the Maryland Conference of Local Environmental Health Directors to refine and expand the course for future exams and gather input on our progress.
A level II ESRI GIS training was held Sept. 29- Oct. 1, 2004
