Founded in 2005, the National Board of Public Health Examiners operates as an independent body aimed at ensuring that students and graduates from CEPH-accredited public health programs possess the knowledge and skills essential for contemporary public health practice. It implements this objective through a voluntary certification exam and a maintenance of certification program. The organization serves individuals trained in CEPH-accredited schools and programs, validating public health competencies within the wellness and fitness services sector. It is based in Arlington, Virginia, and is a small to mid-sized entity. NBPHE has engaged in collaboration with public health organizations to extend continuing education, including a 2018 partnership with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, which also involved APHA in delivering CE at conference events. In November 2024, the organization appointed Melissa Boyette as Director of Partnerships, reflecting ongoing efforts to expand governance and outreach.
