Summer Institute in Public Health Practice

Building on yesterday. Ready for tomorrow.

The 2010 Summer Institute for Public Health Practice will be held August 9–13, 2010 at the University of Washington campus in Seattle.

Participants from across the country will discuss what is current in public health practice and hear from leading experts on cross-cutting issues. Practical, case-based training is a trademark of the Summer Institute and all courses are designed to be relevant to both emerging and everyday challenges. Participants will be able to network with colleagues to learn what other communities are doing to improve public health.

Course topics include epidemiology, health communication, program planning and evaluation. New courses include a course on leadership and management and a course on health and the built environment. Tools of the Trade: Practical Skills for Managers will also be offered again this year, which focuses on modern technologies assisting practitioners with communication, collaboration, and decision-making. This year’s Summer Institute also includes four plenary sessions which feature experts and panels from across the nation sharing their experience and knowledge about current issues and trends in public health.

Registration is now open. We hope to see you there!
