The NYNJ PHTC is one of 14 Public Health Training Centers across the nation, funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to bring the theoretical expertise of faculty at accredited schools of public health together with the practical experience of leaders in public health practice.

• The HRSA-funded New York-New Jersey Public Health Training Center (NYNJ PHTC) sponsored the Third Public Health Nursing Summits on December 6, 2007 in partnership with the New Jersey State Department of Health. Visit the Public Health Nursing Summit III page to read more, and watch videos of the presentations.
• Mastering the Roles of Supervision is our latest online training! This training is based on the book "Supervising New York State: A Framework for Excellence" (copyright 1990, New York State Governor's Office of Employee Relations) and offers a good examination of the competing roles supervisors must master to become effective in their jobs. Activities and self-assessments guide supervisors to finding their own path to mastery.
• Expanding Academic and Public Health Practice Partnerships On March 26, 2007, representatives from schools of public health and state and local health departments gathered in New York City to discuss academic accreditation standards relevant to academic/practice patnerships and the health department accreditation initiative. Learn more from presentations by Hugh Tilson, Susan Allan, and Harold Cox.
