JHCPHP faculty and staff continually develop interactive learning activities in a broad range of preparedness-related fields, including radiation and dirty bombs, occupational health, food and water security, mental health, and cultural competence. Activities offered by JHCPHP include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Face-to-face and online training events
