Academic & Practice Linkages in Public Health Caucus
Academic and Practice Linkages in Public Health Caucus
ASPPH sponsors the Academic and Practice Linkages in Public Health Caucus in partnership with the Public Health Accreditation Board and the Public Health Foundation. The caucus provides a valuable venue for public health academicians and public health practice partners, including representatives of federal, tribal, state, territorial and local governmental public health agencies, to share innovations, promote quality programs and services, and share research that helps to strengthen the evidence base on issues related to public health practice and education.
Caucus members meet annually at the APHA Annual Meeting & Exposition, and additional opportunities for collaboration, including reviewing abstract submissions and networking opportunities, are available throughout the year. All APHA members are encouraged to join the Academic and Practice Linkages in Public Health Caucus and to attend and/or present at Caucus sessions at the APHA Annual Meeting & Exposition.
