(formerly Continuing Education Institutes)

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Deadline:  Friday, February 15, 2008

 

 

The APHA Learning Institute Courses (formerly CEIs) are held immediately prior to the APHA Annual Meeting and consist of a limited number of concentrated continuing education (CE) opportunities. They play a valuable role in responding to the educational needs of the public health workforce and Annual Meeting registrants. These half-day or full day courses afford learners the chance to participate in a more intense and interactive educational experience than is available through normal meeting scientific sessions. Of importance are learning opportunities that promote skills enhancement in public health, such as health surveillance, measurement of health status and basic epidemiological concepts.
