Public Health Assessment Training: Overview
The Public Health Assessment Training is designed to increase knowledge and environmental health competencies in the evaluation of exposure to hazardous substances by using ATSDR’s method, known as the public health assessment or PHA.
Public Health Assessment Training consists of eight basic courses for environmental health professionals and program managers who participate or are interested in the PHA process at the local, tribal, state, and federal level. No prerequisites are required to complete these courses.
