UNC School of Public Health - Public Health Leadership Program

Public Health Leadership Program

Distance students come to Chapel Hill for the Fall Symposium

The Public Health Leadership Program (PHLP) works to prepare public health practitioners for leadership positions. Through our certificate and graduate degree programs, offered in both traditional and distance learning formats, we develop population-level knowledge and skills with an interdisciplinary emphasis. Students participate and learn collaboratively, building upon varied professional experience. Now more than ever, the world needs leaders with a command of the key components of public health, including the abilities to assess community health needs, develop innovative policies and programs, and assure that new systems are maintained and improved.
