Training Opportunities for Environmental Health Professionals
Safe Water Program Improvement e-Learning Series (SWPI)
Vector Control for Environmental Health Professionals (VCEHP)


Safe Water Program Improvement e-Learning Series (SWPI):

SWPI helps health department programs strengthen services to people that use wells, cisterns, springs, and other private drinking water systems not covered by the Safe Drinking Water Act. Oversight for these systems vary, but core elements of successful, sustainable programs are similar. SWPI walks through the 10 Essential Environmental Public Health Services and the Environmental Public Health Performance Standards, and provides examples of using them to identify and fill program gaps in these types of drinking water programs.
