Environmental Health and Land Reuse Class Training Overview

Overview

ATSDR created the Environmental Health and Land Reuse (EHLR) Classroom Training as a supplement to the Online EHLR Certificate Training. The National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) hosts the EHLR Online training. Using ATSDR's curriculum resources, ATSDR and NEHA created both training modalities. The trainings are resources for environmental and health professionals; planners; and students in environmental science, public health, and planning. The trainings encourage engagement in health focused (Healthfields) redevelopment.

You can use the EHLR Classroom Training to deliver your own training for students or staff members. In addition, ATSDR's Land Reuse Team can help you prepare for your class. For assistance, email us at atsdr.landreuse@cdc.gov.

Each module of the EHLR Classroom Training represents one step of ATSDR's 5-step Land Reuse Model:

1. Engaging with Your Community
2. Evaluating Environmental and Health Risks
3. Communicating Environmental and Health Risks to the Community
4. Redesigning with Health in Mind
5. Measuring Success

There are two tracks of the EHLR training:

1. Community Engagement and Risk Communication (Modules 1 and 3)
2. Full EHLR (Modules 1 – 5)

Each track of the training is eligible for a Certificate of Completion from NEHA. Students who completed the 2-module Community Engagement/Risk Communication track or the 5-module EHLR track in the previous 30 days are eligible. To obtain a Certificate from NEHA, the instructor will need to email ATSDR's Land Reuse team at atsdr.landreuse@cdc.gov. They will need to provide a list of eligible student names. We will contact NEHA to request certificates for the requested EHLR training track and send them by email to the instructor.
