About the CPHP Training Web Site

The UNC Center for Public Health Preparedness (CPHP) Training Web Site was developed to offer public health professionals and other interested persons immediate access to short, high quality trainings on public health preparedness topics. Trainings address emergency readiness competencies plus core public health and epidemiology competencies. Various types of continuing education credit are offered for trainings. In addition, all trainings on this site address one or more required domains for CPH professionals and may be counted towards CPH continuing education.

These trainings are designed to address the most basic level of cognitive learning. They are short knowledge-level trainings that are designed to be completed on-the-job with very little time commitment.
