The certificate provides participants with hands-on knowledge about how to improve processes in their respective organizations. By so doing, best practices will be diffused, and process performance will improve public health services.
This certificate addresses concerns voiced by the National Board of Public Health Examiners, the Public Health Accreditation Board, and the Council on Education for Public Health to provide more educational opportunities in performance improvement to working public health professionals.
