TNPHTC

Tennessee's Public Health Training Center

The Tennessee Public Health Training Center (TNPHTC), formerly known as LIFEPATH (Long-Distance Internet Facilitated Educational Program for Applied Training in Health) is a workforce development partnership aimed at public health employees in the state of Tennessee.  TNPHTC's mission is to provide a home for the collaborative partnership between Tennessee’s academic public health training providers and the Tennessee’s public health workforce, and to provide comprehensive, competency-based training for that workforce.

TNPHTC’s vision is to be a vital collaboration that will provide multiple entry points for public health workers to obtain public health education and training designed to improve their skills, experiences, and competencies. The TN Public Health Training Center provides a wide range of academic and non-academic programs to assure that Tennessee’s public health workforce has the knowledge, skills, and training to meet Tennessee’s present and forthcoming health challenges. 

The Tennessee Public Health Training Center is housed at the East Tennessee State University College of Public Health. For questions please contact the Director, Taylor Dula at mckeehan@etsu.edu.
