ASPPH invites members to register for an upcoming ASPPH Presents webinar on February 24, 2026, from 1:00–2:00 PM ET. The webinar, From Classroom to Career: Public Health Fellowships, Practicums, Internships, and Apprenticeships, is designed to support students, early career professionals, and academic leaders seeking to strengthen connections between public health education and workforce practice.
The session will introduce participants to applied learning and training opportunities that bridge academic preparation and professional practice, with an overview of the ASPPH Center for Public Health Workforce Development.
