NEHA/UL Sabbatical Exchange Program

Study environmental health on the international level through the NEHA/UL Sabbatical Program!

There are no borders to environmental health. What concerns one country concerns all others; what affects one people affects the world. That's why NEHA and UL are proud to present an opportunity for a NEHA member to spend a two-to-four-week sabbatical in an IFEH member country, observing, questioning and sharing environmental health practices and information.

For more information, please visit the NEHA/UL Sabbatical Exchange Program page.
