Enhancing Graduate Education in Environmental Health

An adequate supply of trained environmental public health professionals is critical to protecting human health and the environment. The continuing declines in the size and capabilities of the environmental health workforce have left the nation’s environmental health infrastructure inadequately prepared to effectively manage the myriad of existing and emerging environmental public health challenges.

Since 1967 the National Environmental Health Science & Protection Accreditation Council (EHAC) has been working to enhance, support, promote and evaluate environmental health science academic programs.

The purpose of this lecture is to present the current general requirements for graduate programs accredited by EHAC and to discuss current trends in the environmental health workforce to identify topics and preparation needed in graduate program curricula. The workshop will synthesize feedback to come up with general recommendations for EHAC to upgrade graduate curriculum.
