Understanding public health law is critical to addressing today’s public health issues, yet many education and training programs for public health practitioners — including master of public health (MPH) programs — do not prepare practitioners to enter the workforce with an adequate understanding of how the law can be used to improve or hinder the public’s health.
To address this knowledge gap, ChangeLab Solutions has partnered with the Public Health Law Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to produce a video Q&A with four public health professionals, who describe their experiences with using public health law in their work, including how law is an essential tool for protecting the public’s health and promoting health equity.
