The Project
The Southeast Public Health Training Center
represents a partnership between the University
of North Carolina School of Public Health and academic and practice
partners in Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia
and West Virginia. Eight Public
Health Training Centers across the United States were funded in 2000
by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)
to "improve the Nation's public health systems by strengthening the technical,
scientific, managerial and leadership competencies and capabilities of
the current and future public health workforce," particularly in under-served
areas.
