Our Mission

Creating healthy environments by generating new knowledge and data-driven approaches for where people live, work, play, and learn. Our mission is multifaceted and aims to enhance the well-being and quality of life for individuals and communities. This approach involves leveraging data and research to better understand how various aspects of our built and natural environments impact human health, and using that knowledge to inform decision-making and improve the design and management of these spaces.

The Environmental Health Research Institute for Nurse and Clinician Scientists (EHRI-NCS) presents our expert lectures for healthcare professionals focused on environmental health. Our self-paced course features nine pre-recorded modules, delivered in a virtual classroom. Here, we present a sample open-source lecture from each module.
