Inclusive Excellence

At NCIPH, we value our role in shaping the professional education and leadership development of the local, state and national public health workforce. We align ourselves with the stated values of UNC Gillings to ensure we train and develop public health professionals within a climate that is intentionally diverse and inclusive. We are committed to fostering a learning environment that centers  sustained equity and inclusion and which prepares our program participants to better partner with and meet the needs of the diverse communities they serve. 

NCIPH is just one of many programs within the Gillings School and UNC centers and institutes that provides training, continuing education and technical support to support the local, national, and global public health workforce. Learn more about public health workforce development efforts at UNC.
