38 Core Resources For Public Health Professionals

Public health professionals analyze the effect on health of the population and the environment in order to create and develop programs to protect the health of families at the state, local and national levels. These highly qualified professionals attempt to prevent problems from either happening or re-occurring through implementation of educational programs, policies and regulations. While clinical professionals such as doctors focus primarily on treating a population, public health professionals instead look at limiting health disparities and advocating health care equality and accessibility.

I’ve taken the time to research what I feel are critical resources for public health professionals to know, learn, and understand at any time in of their career.
