Educational Experiences

The Office of Practice and Learning works with schools all over Texas to build partnerships between the Texas Department of State Health Services and academic institutions. This helps us make the current and future public health workforce stronger. 

By working with schools, we can offer students and staff valuable learning opportunities and resources. We also create a network of professionals who want to make Texans healthier. We hope to inspire the next group of leaders who will tackle the tough health challenges we face.
