Why
Environmental Health Professionals Should Attend
|
Continuing Education Credit Hours
The National
Environmental Health Association (NEHA) has pre-approved continuing
education credit for the course for Registered
Environmental Health Specialists or Registered Sanitarians
credentialed through NEHA. Participants will receive 15
contact hours. For
more information.
If there are other state
agencies that license or accredit environmental health specialists,
NCHH will seek approval from them to help students get the most from
the training.

The Essentials for Healthy Homes Practitioners
course brings together a diverse mix of housing and health professionals to
promote practical and cost-effective methods for making homes healthier. A
major strength of the course is the peer-to-peer learning that occurs between
students. Through exercises, demonstrations and discussions, students
better understand the roles, perceptions and challenges that their counterparts face.
And they identify ways to coordinate their work to better protect residents from
environmental and safety hazards in the home.
Environmental health professionals, especially
registered environmental health specialists and registered sanitarians are the
key people for healthy housing. They are trained in both the health and
the environmental aspects of public health challenges.
Environmental health professionals will benefit
from the course because it will help them:
-
Better understand the connections between the
housing code requirements and potential health impacts;
-
Set priorities that maximize the health benefits
to residents;
-
More effectively convince property owner to
resolve problems;
-
Develop networks with other health and housing
professionals who can help identify resources and potential solutions; and
-
Gain insight into the perspectives of nurses,
pest management professionals, environmental health specialists,
and community-based organizations to help all be more effective.
