The Public Health Certificate in Preparedness, Response, and Recovery (PHCert-PRR) is a program in the public health practice major. This training will help prepare public health workers and others to respond to incidences of bio-terrorism, infectious disease outbreaks, and other emerging public health issues. Students typically complete the curriculum by attending at least two Public Health Institutes (PHI), held in May/June of each year.
The PHCert-PRR curriculum also offers elective courses in health informatics with scholarships available for interested students. The goal of the scholarship is to leverage health informatics technology capabilities in support of public health PRR and disseminate these models and solutions through teaching and mentoring others in their roles in the private and public sectors and in higher education environments.
