Biography

Cuyamaca College - Health Education

Admissions Coordinator at University of Cincinnati College of Medicine
Higher Education
Christopher
Hill, MS, CHES
Cincinnati, Ohio
My name is Christopher Hill and I have a passion for public health education. I am a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) with a Masters of Science degree in Health Promotion and Education (Community Health track) and a Graduate Certificate in Substance Abuse Prevention. Additionally, I recently earned a California Career and Technical Education (CTE) preliminary teaching license as well as a TESOL certificate. I am passionate about public health, especially in rural/under-served communities. Intercultural/global health issues, chronic disease prevention, community health, and sexual health are my areas of expertise. My additional field of knowledge/practice is in workforce development for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, public health practitioners, and other health-related professionals. This includes legislation, continuing education, certification procedures, mentorship, and professional pathways programs for young adults. Throughout my experiences working at the university, city, county, state, national-levels, I have grown substantially as a professional as well as deepened my own interest in many health areas. It is my goal to positively impact the public health of the community/communities I work in, as well as develop a competent public health workforce through health promotion training.
