Communities of Practice

SOPHE’s Communities of Practice (CoP), are member-driven discussion boards of varied subject and interest areas. This is a members-only perk!

Discover, share and connect with other health educators through our members-only social network. Members who share a similar professional role or a passion for a health topic or an area of practice can exchange ideas, resources, research, or build solutions to common issues.

In addition to networking roundtables at SOPHE Annual Conference, CoPs hold informational sessions and collaborate using the online forum.
