The AIDPH Academy
The American Institute on Disparities in Public Health hosts our educational leadership experiences via the AIDPH Academy, a hub for professional development and continuing education in oral health and public health.
The Elements of the Academy

Certificate Programs
We recognize the value of continuous learning, specialization, and training that complements traditional academic pathways. Our certificate programs are crafted to signal expertise in distinct areas of dental public health. By obtaining a certification, participants not only validate their knowledge and skills, but also demonstrate a commitment to advancing oral health equity and catalyzing positive change.
Integrated Care Approaches to Veteran Oral Health
While the Veteran Oral Health Action Collaborative has concluded, the journey toward excellence in integrated care approaches to veteran oral health continues.
ROOTED: Rural Oral health Outreach, Training, and Education in Dentistry Seminar Series
AIDPH’s ROOTED Seminar Series focuses on advancing rural oral health through workforce development. Each monthly session features a didactic presentation on a specific facet of rural oral health followed by discussion of a “challenge” from the field.
Nonprofit Management in Public Health Certificate Program
The Nonprofit Management in Public Health Certificate is a 6-month program designed to strengthen and expand the capacity of public health professionals, uniquely focused on equipping participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to lead, sustain, and grow public health nonprofits,
Learning Collaboratives
AIDPH both facilitates and participates in multi-stakeholder learning collaboratives. These initiatives offer informal meetings centered around an overarching topic, creating a space dedicated to personal growth and collective action. Typically, gatherings occur with routine frequency, fostering a community of continuous learning and shared ambition. While these meetings do not offer CEUs, they provide invaluable opportunities for networking, collaboration, and real-time problem-solving. Depending on the project or partner involved, some Collaboratives may be temporary, making each session a unique and enriching experience. Currently, AIDPH co-leads the OPEN Advocacy learning collaborative. Sign up here to participate!

“Everything that was addressed in these sessions was very real
to me. I enjoy listening to
others’ perspectives and ideas, and I think it is important to bounce these ideas off each other as the same problems exist across the country.”
