The Pennsylvania & Ohio Public Health Training Center provides an essential service of public health by assuring a comprehensive and prepared public health workforce.

The Pennsylvania & Ohio Public Health Training Center (POPHTC) is preparing public health professionals in a changing world. Many of today's practitioners were trained before extreme-drug resistant tuberculosis, geographic information systems (GIS), an obesity epidemic, or even the Internet! POPHTC provides needed training and ongoing professional development for those workers dedicated to population health services. Based at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health, POPHTC has a partner office at The Ohio State University College of Public Health Office of Workforce Development.

Principal Investigator: Margaret A. Potter, JD
Ohio Co-director: Frank Holtzhauer, PhD
