The issue of diversity in schools and graduate programs of public health tends to generate a great deal of anxiety in terms of meeting CEPH accreditation criteria. Schools of public health and graduate programs in public health usually express their commitment to recruiting, retaining, and promoting a diverse faculty in their mission statements, goals, objectives, value statements, and other public documents. However, despite great effort, many continue to find it difficult to achieve these commitments. The pool of faculty members prepared in public health and related disciplines is small, very much in demand, and currently insufficient to meet the many competing offers of faculty positions.
This session will focus on diversity as it relates to the accreditation of schools of public health and graduate programs in public health.
