Introducing a new eLearning system for health education specialists and public health professionals
from the SOPHE
Center for Online Resources & Education
The Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE) is
proud to announce its new eLearning management
system, the Center for Online Resources & Education
(CORE).
Selected learning activities are available for free as
well as at affordable rates. National SOPHE members
will enjoy significant savings on the eLearning content
within CORE.
CORE provides an integrated, one-stop portal for
health education specialists and other public health
professionals to access distance learning
opportunities, retrieve online resources, and manage
continuing education credits. At the CORE, you will be
able to access SOPHE's webinar archives,
recordings from past SOPHE conferences, online
courses, journal self-studies, podcasts, toolkits and
factsheets.
“For more than 60 years, SOPHE has provided outstanding continuing education through our national
conferences,” says Elaine Auld, MPH, MCHES, SOPHE’s Chief Executive Officer. “This next evolution of our
integrated learning platform will meet the needs of members and other contemporary health professionals
who want access to the latest information and resources, any time of day or night and without leaving the
comfort of their homes or offices.”
One of the greatest values of
accessing education opportunities
through CORE is the ability to
complete continuing education (CE)
evaluations online and then print
and save CE certificates from the
system.
New content will be added
regularly to CORE. To access the
beta version of CORE, visit

CORE Debuts First Online Course
CORE also proudly debuts SOPHE’s first online course, based on five
modules from the SOPHE textbook “Health Promotion Programs: From
Theory to Practice.” The course features recorded voice-over-
PowerPoint lectures for asynchronous learning. The modules are
based on select chapters and are delivered by several of the authors
and editors of the textbook. Each module includes test questions, and
the course is available for 4.25 continuing education contact hours for
those with the designation of certified health education specialists
(CHES) and master certified health education specialists (MCHES). The
cost of the course includes a copy of SOPHE’s textbook.
