Center for Public Health Practice
Additional recommended knowledgeCPHP was established in 1995 with an appropriation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. CPHP’s vision is a sustainable and resilient public health system in Pennsylvania. The Center’s mission is to be a catalyst for engaged scholarship in public health through applied research, practice-based teaching, and professional service. Since 1995, CPHP has strengthened the public health workforce, improved emergency preparedness and response capacities, and focused research on improving the health of Pennsylvania citizens. The Center leverages the Commonwealth’s support to bring in more than $5 million additional dollars each year. These funds come from a diversity of partners, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the Pennsylvania Department of Health (PA DOH), the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts, the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD), and a variety of other sources.
Major ActivitiesInterdisciplinary research, teaching, and service. The Center for Public Health Practice’s activities interface with all departments at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health (GSPH), the Dean’s Office, and the MMPH program, utilizing and sharing expertise throughout the school. The Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Education, and Law and the Library System are also highly active partners at the University of Pittsburgh. In addition, CPHP collaborates closely with the Center for Rural Health Practice (CRHP) at the University of Pittsburgh Bradford Campus to bring training and service opportunities to Pennsylvania’s rural counties and populations. CPHP’s Director also co-chairs the University's Center for National Preparedness. The Center hosts the 15-credit “Graduate Certificate Program in Public Health Preparedness and Response”, the GSPH-wide “Capstone” course, and numerous other courses and classes. The Center supports dozens of students every year through internships, fellowships, awards, projects, and in a host of other ways. In 2007, CPHP trained hundreds of professionals responsible for the health of the public. CPHP offered an array of continuing education programs through hands-on training, and distance learning on leadership skills, environmental health assessment, rural/public health preparedness, public health preparedness law, and public health preparedness for nurses.
