Untapped resources: exploring the need to invest in doctor of public health-degree training and leadership development

[...] efforts to clearly delineate profession-wide leadership roles for those with DrPHs and to develop national DrPH training goals, standards, and, perhaps, curriculum guidelines, should (1) be led by DrPH practitioners, students, and faculty, (2) draw on existing DrPH curricula models in accredited schools of public health, and (3) support the development of a national forum for DrPH students and practitioners to network, mobilize, and use professional and practical resources to identify and promote the best strategies for addressing social inequalities that threaten the public's well-being.
