“…The quantitative portion of this study consisted of an online survey of teaching faculty teaching public health and health professions coursework within a convenience sample of community colleges and affiliated universities accepting transfer students across the United States ( n = 27). Participants were solicited from a community of practice comprising community colleges and universities participating in public health program development that has been previously described; this community of practice represents community colleges and universities located in a range of settings, many serving underrepresented communities throughout the United States (Johnson et al, 2019). Invitations were sent via email through public health program managers at each community college and university to help assure that invitations reached intended faculty.…”

The role of community colleges in training public health professionals is of growing importance to the continuum of public health education. Some 5 years have passed since the Framing the Future initiative outlined curricular models at community colleges, and colleges deploying these models are serving as learning sites for public health education at community colleges. While past research has focused on capturing insights from community college executives and program administrators, this study captures perspectives from teaching faculty. Drawing on a national sample of teaching faculty at community colleges and universities accepting transfer students throughout the United States, an online survey of teaching faculty affiliated with public health programs was coupled with follow-up interviews. This study characterizes the nature and scope of public health programming in community colleges and transfer settings, and highlights associated challenges and opportunities as public health becomes further integrated into health professions pathways in 2-year settings and beyond.
