CDI Certification Advisory Committee
The Certified in Disease Intervention (CDI) Certification Advisory Committee is comprised of representatives of partner organizations who advise NBPHE on the CDI certification process. Committee members are leaders of organizations representing disease intervention professionals, NBPHE board members, and other partners. The advisory committee focuses on the goals and administration of the CDI certification, challenges facing the workforce, and how CDI certification will help government public health organizations recruit new DI employees.
