Supporting Excellence in Public Health Practice
The Center for Public Health Practice was established in 2014 and its mission is to support excellence in public health practice.
The Center for Public Health Practice helps practitioners by:
- Increasing local public health value in Indiana through public health accreditation preparedness.
- Providing technical assistance to local health departments around community-identified public health needs.
- Enhancing workforce capacity building through authentic, community-centered learning opportunities for public health students.
- Supporting the Indiana Public Health Practice Council, an inclusive, statewide group that brings together representatives from state universities, associations, public health practice, and policy-making bodies.
The Corps is a volunteer group of students who engage in service-learning experiences with partnering health agencies.
The IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health hosts drug take back days at the IUPUI Campus Center. Students, staff and faculty can bring in old or expired prescription or over-the-counter drugs for proper disposal.
