ASPPH, with support from CDC through a cooperative agreement, supported 15 fellows in a week long program to prepare for the CPH exam. 14 fellows from the ASPPH/CDC Public Health and ASPPH/CDC Allan Rosenfield Global Health programs, and an Association for Prevention Teaching and Research (APTR)/CDC fellow, participated in study sessions with expert faculty from CEPH accredited, ASPPH member-schools and focused on one of the five core-areas of public health, including cross-cutting areas and cumulated with a proctored CPH exam.
