Professional Training for Public Health Workforces

IAPH believes in the role of partnerships for the exchange of knowledge and experience. These partnerships include curricula development, participation in training, and mentoring.

We work with our partners to identify their training needs and, accordingly, offer tailored solutions.

Trainings can also be customized for different durations to fit various organizations' needs.

IAPH’s targeted partners are ministries of health, public health institutes, academic institutes, and national and international organizations.

IAPH has a pool of highly professional trainers who are both content experts and teaching masters. Trainers and instructors have regional and international experience from over 12 countries in the EMR, Europe and the US. Expertise range from field, academia, governmental and non-governmental organizations.

We understand the complexities of public health sector work, and the improbability of forgoing work for extended periods. Therefore, IAPH has designed flexible training approaches that fit the schedule of our residents:

Those training courses range from long-term, mid-, and short-term training in numerous areas of public health. They aim to contribute to the development of public health services across countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) by building the capacity of the public health workforce.

IAPH is not mere addition to the number of public health educational institutions in the EMR, rather, it is unique in promoting a practice-led type of public health education based on a residency model.

This contrasts with the conventional model of academic and theoretical education, which, though useful, is not in line with producing graduates with required competencies commensurate with the current realities and challenges in the public health sector.

To achieve its mission, IAPH offers diverse fields of study, programs, and courses that utilize learning methods and teach skills to be immediately applied in the field.

The International Academy of Public Health (IAPH) stands as a beacon of professional training and development for public health workforces globally. With an innovative approach that diverges from traditional academic pathways, IAPH emphasizes a practice-led educational model akin to a residency program. This approach is finely tuned to meet the evolving challenges and realities in the public health sector, ensuring that graduates are not only knowledgeable but also competently equipped to apply their skills in real-world scenarios.
