Continuing Education

The University of Michigan School of Public Health offers innovative programs to keep working professionals up-to-date on the latest developments in their field, while at the same time expanding their professional interests. Continuing education programs vary in length and discipline. Some explore emerging issues, while others address ongoing training needs. From single-day symposia to multiyear medical residencies, they are united in a common goal: to broaden the skills and further the work of public health professionals.
