- Abstract
The article focuses on the development of the environmental health workforce. It may be defined as the aggregate of public health professionals, educated, trained, and competent in the art and science of controlling factors in the environment that are detrimental to the health and well-being of humankind. Many environmental public health programs are severely understaffed and are continuously seeking competent environmental health practitioners. The Association of Environmental Health Academic Programs (AEHAP) is a cooperative agreement between the Environmental Health Services Branch and AEHAP over the past five years has resulted in significant accomplishments, including the accreditation of four new undergraduate programs and three new graduate programs since 2003. Environmental Public Health Leadership Institute is the first program dedicated specifically to developing and enhancing environmental health leadership skills for the 21st century.
