November 21, 2005 NORFOLK—EVMS’ and Old Dominion University’s Master of Public Health program has been re-accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) until 2012, the maximum accreditation possible. CEPH is an independent agency of the U.S. Department of Education and accredits schools of public health and certain public health programs that offer programs in settings other than schools of public health. The MPH program was established in 1997 by EVMS and ODU. The program is currently searching for a permanent director to fill the vacancy left by Robert Jacobs, Ph.D., who served as program director for five years. “It’s really nice to see CEPH give us the maximum accreditation,” said Gavin Welch, Ph.D., interim director. “It shows they’re confident about us and this accreditation adds value to not only the degrees but the future of our MPH students.” Welch gave credit to the hard work of the EVMS and ODU faculty and staff and Jacobs for making the long-term accreditation possible.
