SEPHON Young Researchers And Practitioners

Introduction

The need to enhance efforts put in place by our lecturers, mentors, and fathers in the field of environmental public health necessitates the emergence of SEPHON YOUNG RESEARCHERS AND PRACTITIONERS.

This is a group of young researchers under the platform of the Society for Environmental and Public Health of Nigeria (SEPHON) that looks into research and implementation of research output by concerned agencies and organizations.

The group will also collaborate with institutions in the quest for professional and competent hands to teach Environmental and Public Health courses, as well as uphold international best practices in the field of Public Health. Local and International training via conferences and workshops with grant support will be provided for, as incentives to this group members and others under the umbrella of SEPHON.

The group will also support curriculum development and drafting of BMAS for paramedic, allied health, and basic medical sciences on request, where there is a need, with directives/instructions from the SEPHON Board of Trustees. The Young Research and Practitioner group of SEPHON will operate within the rules and regulations of SEPHON and receive instructions/directives from the authority of SEPHON, and be a good ambassador of the society in conduct and dealings, as well as respect for ethical approval on research to be carried out.
