Advancing public health education that meets 21st-century demands is ASPPH’s core mission. To ensure public health workers have the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes, ASPPH:
Develops competencies and learning outcomes across the educational continuum
Sponsors fellowships and internships that offer “real-world” practice experiences
Promotes the Certified in Public Health (CPH) credential
Leads Framing the Future, an interdisciplinary task force that is reconsidering public health education
As an advocate for the interests of academic public health, ASPPH:

Join us at 12PM ET for an ASPPH Presents webinar! Panelists will examine key drivers of misinformation, including declining trust in health institutions, information silos created by social media, and gaps in digital and media literacy.

https://aspph.org/event/humanizing-public-health/

Misinformation is not just a communication problem, but a reflection of deeper challenges in public health. This includes declining trust in institutions, social and structural inequities, and a persistent over-reliance on biomedical solutions that overlook human behavior.

Join us on May 11, 2026 at 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET for an ASPPH Presents webinar that will explore how public health leaders can rebuild trust and counter misinformation by rethinking how we engage with communities.

This webinar is designed for students, faculty, and public health professionals seeking practical strategies to navigate misinformation and strengthen the impact of their work in an increasingly complex communication landscape.
