How Do We Ensure an Effective Public Health Workforce into the Future?

According to national experts speaking at the American Public Health Association (APHA) Annual Meeting earlier this month, one key element is better connections between academia and public health practice. Read Kathleen Amos' highlights of the conversation, shared by leaders in public health workforce development, in her latest PHF Pulse Blog post.
