Additional recommended knowledgeThe Pennsylvania & Ohio Public Health Training Center (POPHTC) is preparing public health professionals in a changing world. Many of today's practitioners were trained before extreme-drug resistant tuberculosis, geographic information systems, an obesity epidemic, or even the Internet! POPHTC provides needed training and ongoing professional development for those workers dedicated to population health services. Based at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health, POPHTC has a partner office at the The Ohio State University College of Public Health Office of Workforce Development. POPHTC is one of 14 Public Health Training Centers[2](PHTCs) with principal support provided through a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The PHTCs were launched to support the U.S. public health workforce in its efforts to protect Americans, and indeed, the world, from health threats.
