Courses and Lectures

Public Health Preparedness Speaker Series:
Through this school-based initiative, the HSPH-CPHP provides monthly lectures to members of the academic and medical community on a wide range of relevant and up-to-date topics throughout the academic year. These lunchtime lectures are intended for a lay audience and cover many aspects of emergency preparedness. Archived webcasts of previous lectures are available online. More information on the 2008-2009 HSPH-CPHP Speaker Series will be available here later in the year.
