Now Accepting Applications: Public Health 360 Training Program
A diverse public health workforce is better equipped to address public health disparities than a non-diverse workforce. Unfortunately, the public health workforce is not representative of the population it serves. Overall, ONLY 42% of the governmental public health workforce is people of color. GHEP's Public Health (PH) 360 program is closing this gap by training the next generation of public health professionals.
We are now accepting applications for the next cohort of PH360. You can join, sponsor, or nominate your employee to gain this once-in-a-lifetime experience. You need not be a public health student just an interest in public health.
