In an attempt to strengthen the public health workforce, both in numbers and in quality, the Council is working to map the pipeline for public health professionals, charting how, when, and where people enter and leave governmental public health agencies. The pipeline map should shed light on issues of recruitment and retention of public health workers.

Additional Information
Additional information from Council, Workgroup and community members, as well as from other public health organizations, has been compiled to help the process of mapping the public health governmental agency worker pipeline.
