The Office of Public Health Practice & Training strives to create and sustain lasting partnerships with the public health practice community by utilizing the resources and efforts of various centers throughout the School.  As a portal to professional development and academic training programs, the Office provides practitioners with access to the most current public health research and information available that can immediately be applied to their public health careers.  Additionally, the Office works directly with public health leaders to engage in discussions on the best practices for improving public health partnerships between academia and the practice community.
