Public Health: Past, Present, and Future

The field of public health is not new; it has existed for thousands of years in various forms before being formalized as a professional field.  Given this context, it is not surprising that public health has become a cornerstone of our daily existence.  In this training, participants will learn more in detail about the history of public health, where we are now, and where this field is heading in the future.  Using case studies of how public health response has helped and hurt populations throughout time, the trainers will lead a conversation around how we can continue to push public health to center health and racial equity.  Come prepared to participate!
