ASPPH and the National Board of Public Health Examiners (NBPHE) partnered last week to provide a number of CPH-related activities at the annual meeting of the Association of Public Health Nurses in Atlanta, GA. At the conference, the NBPHE exhibited and led a plenary session about the Certified in Public Health (CPH) credential.

On Friday, April 26, ASPPH hosted a Certified in Public Health (CPH) Review Course. The day-long course had over 50 participants.
