A brief history P.H.E.N.O.M. (Public Health Expertise Network of Mentors) is an online expansion of The Public Health Alumni Mentor Program (PHAM), a service activity of the SCSU Alumni Association/Public Health Alumni Chapter that served the SCSU campus since its inception in 1993.
When PHAM moved online in 2002, the scope of the program broadened. Public health professionals other than SCSU graduates expressed interest in being mentors. PHAM was renamed Public Health Expertise Network of Mentors to reflect participation of public health professionals who were not SCSU graduates.
The online nature of PHENOM has allowed anyone with Internet access to participate either as a mentor or mentee. Primarily, PHENOM allows public health professionals practicing anywhere in the world to share their expertise with anyone interested in the field of Public Health. It is now an autonomous service program available to anyone who is part of the Internet community. This service program is now in its 30th year. All mentors are public health practitioners with a degree in Public Health, and have volunteered to provide career and school advice to anyone interested in the field of Public Health. Please feel free to contact these mentors by E-mail, or phone. When contacting mentors please mention this Web page, or, how you heard about the program. Be courteous in your communications and provide feedback regarding the helpfulness of the contact. Thank you for your interest in Public Health! This program meets National Services Resources.org's criteria for "An effective practice that has been implemented by one or more programs and is easily replicated" . It is now listed by Healthy Communities Institute's Promising Practices database as a community intervention "...that have been shown to be successful in communities across the nation."
Starting in 2012, PHENOM can offer to those certified as CHES® or MCHES® the opportunity to earn one Category 2 CECH for each year of service to meeting the recertification requirements of the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing, Inc. (NCHEC) for Competency 7.6.10, "Serve as a mentor to others" Kind words... September 9, 2012: Thanks, Betty. I added a link to this to my PCH 500 course, and I am encouraging students to take advantage of the PHENOM program! As always, your work is wonderful and important. (William G. Faraclas, DrPH, Professor and Chair, Department of Public Health, Southern Connecticut State University)
"This is really a great program. I am not sure if it was available when I was a student. If it was I wish I was made aware of it - if not I feel I lost out!" V. DePalma,'97. "I am very pleased with the mentor program. I was able to obtain valuable information concerning graduate programs and career decisions. My thanks to all who participate in this commendable program." P. Shepard, '96. Once you have reviewed those tables and identify specific mentors of interest, then come back to this page for more details about their background and expertise and how to contact them.
Please provide feedback on the PHENOM Visitor Poll, and on the short evaluation form at the end of this page. You can also ask questions as well. I would like for PHENOM to be a useful resource for those interested in entering the field of Public Health and for the more seasoned professional, resources to enhance what you are doing now. Thanks. Betty
September, 2012 - The PHENOM Directory offers brief biosketches of public health professionals you can contact to learn more about what they do.
