Why the CPH Matters
As public health organizations recover from unprecedented public health challenges, like the COVID-19 pandemic and the Mpox outbreak, the need to invest in the public health workforce is more critical than ever. Public health professionals are the backbone of our communities and empowering them with advanced skills and certification is a lasting investment for both employers and CPH Certificants alike. Earning the CPH credential helps public health professionals build confidence and gives them a sense of pride in their achievement and in their work. The Certified in Public Health (CPH) credential is the only credential of its kind for public health practitioners that demonstrates their well-rounded knowledge of core public health sciences and their commitment to continuing their expertise in the field through recertification.
