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.
