The Public Health Academy is NCIPH's partnership with NC Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) to broaden
public health professional development opportunities and experiences through
AHEC’s multi-site educational system. "Schools" for different public
health professions will provide public health leaders and clinicians with
access to knowledge and skills needed to deal with the rapidly changing public
health environment by linking them to state-of-the-art learning methods. The
first schools will be for health directors and for medical residents. In
the future, schools will be developed for public health nurses, environmental
health specialists and social workers. The Academy was established by a grant
