The Practice Office recently received funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to establish a national Center of Excellence for Public Health Workforce Studies. The Center will focus on research related to public health workforce capacity and developing models to forecast workforce shortages.
The Practice Office, with support from Michigan Public Health Training Center, Michigan Center for Public Health Preparedness and Community-Based Public Health offices, placed 22 students in internships throughout Michigan and one in San Diego. These students along with their preceptors attended the internship poster session for HBHE, EHS and EPID on Friday, October 9, 2009. See pictures of this event on the internship page in this website.
