FAQs

Why do we have a Continuing Professional Competencies (CPC) program?

The CPC program facilitates the professional recognition of CPHI(C) holders, to keep

them abreast of continuing developments in the field of environmental public health, and

to support their continued professional development.

Where do I enter my PDHs?

Visit ciphi.in1touch.org to access the Member Service Centre (MSC). It is recommended to enter activities into the MSC as they take place, rather than wait until the end of the year and try to recall details.
