What is Public Health Practice?
ASPH Council of Public Health Practice Coordinators
The council serves to advise the deans and engage the faculty and member schools on public health practice activities. It provides a forum for the discussion of policies and programs to promote, improve and strengthen public health practice. These include faculty development activities, the planning of student field experiences, collaborative ventures with agencies and organizations, and the utilization of methods which incorporate contemporary practice principles, including the essential public health services, into teaching programs. A particular emphasis of the council is the promotion of scholarship in public health practice. In addition, members of the council perform liaison functions for their schools with various agencies of the federal government. The council is composed of at least one administrator or faculty member appointed by the dean of each school of public health. -- Mission Charge approved January 4, 2000
