According to its website, the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice (NWCPHP) coordinates workforce development activities as part of the Department of Health Services at the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine.
One of its significant contributions is the Hot Topics in Preparedness series. The page includes information about upcoming topics as well as an archive to topics discussed in previous years (from 2004). There is about one topic each month. The website include the Powerpoint slides and a recording of the presentation for each topic. The topics cover recent exercises, resources available for public health preparedness planners, and guidance from experts on various issues. Note: Participating in the live web event (which uses a combination of iLinc web conferencing and teleconferencing) is limited to those in the Northwest region.
