SCPHP Public Health Certificate Program
The South Central Public Health Partnership (SCPHP) is pleased to announce the launch of our online certificate programs in public health on our Learning Management System (LMS). Each certificate will be composed of a series of approximately 5 online courses. A participant in the program will receive a certificate upon successful completion of a concentration of courses about a specific subject in emergency preparedness.
It should be noted that at this time the certificate will have no academic standing. The certificate program is being initiated as a way to help the workforce focus on areas in which they require further study. This structured training will prove helpful in both planning for and responding to public health disasters at the state and local level. Below is the list of current certificate programs available on our LMS. The LMS website is: http://lms.southcentralpartnership.org It is free to register to our LMS and take the online courses and register to any certificate program.
