Do you work in a state, Tribal, local, or territorial health department in the United States? Participate in the Governmental Public Health Job Task Survey, help strengthen the public health workforce, and get $10 ;) The purpose of the survey is to better understand what tasks people in specific public health jobs do the most and which tasks they believe are the most important to their work. This information will give the workforce, governmental public health leaders, and academic institutions and training programs better insight into what a wide range of governmental public health jobs entail and what might be needed to best support people in these roles. https://lnkd.in/eBv2kFUw Thanks to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH), Public Health Accreditation Board, and National Board of Public Health Examiners (NBPHE) for supporting this work!
