Harvard School of Public Health
The overarching mission of the Harvard School of Public Health is to advance the public’s health through learning, discovery, and communication. From advancing scientific discovery to training national and international leaders, the Harvard School of Public Health has been at the forefront of efforts to benefit the health of populations worldwide.

Center for Continuing Professional Education
The programs of the Harvard School of Public Health Center for Continuing Professional Education (CCPE) are focused on strengthening health professionals’ competencies in response to their identified needs in health policy and management, occupational safety and environmental health, individual and community health, quantitative methods, and institutional leadership. For more than two decades our executive education, training programs, and conferences have earned a reputation among mid- and senior-level health professionals as the place where theory informs practice and practice informs theory. CCPE offers a variety of programs in a number of formats: executive courses, seminars, conferences, customized courses, off-site programs, grant-funded projects, and self-study projects. Faculty members are drawn predominantly from the Harvard University system, complemented by a cadre of talented practitioner instructors.
