Originally called the DrPH Coalition, our organization was officially established in 2018. We sought to provide a space for DrPHers to share and seek resources, meet fellow DrPHers, and grow in their careers.

In 2019, we held our first annual conference, bringing together DrPH students and alumni to leverage their expertise, diversity, and creativity for the advancement of public health.

In 2020, we received our official 501(c)(3) status, allowing us to raise funds to continue providing resources and services to a growing number of students and professional DrPHers.

In 2021, we launched our first memberships for DrPHers, as well as establishing our DrPH Directors Forum, which brings together program directors from all over the country to discuss successes and challenges in DrPH education.

In 2022, we launched our mentorship program which provides mentoring opportunities to early and mid career professionals . We also launched our Organizational School- Based Membership which enables schools to give their students a free NADrPH membership.

No longer the DrPH Coalition, in 2023 we became the National Organization for Doctors of Public Health (NADrPH), in order to better align our name with our mission!
