The ASPPH-led Framing the Future: The Second Hundred Years of Education for Public Health Task Force (Framing Task Force), created a DrPH Expert Panel in January 2014 to explore key considerations, design elements, and broad content issues related to the DrPH degree. The panel has prepared a draft report with recommendations on the DrPH degree. The report is available for public comment until Monday July 28. Click here to participate in the survey. ASPPH encourages members to send the link to employers of your DrPH graduates for them to comment upon the abilities they are looking for in DrPH holders.
