Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

WVU's primary focal points for continuing education are in the fields of medicine, public health, and curriculum and instruction. Most of the sustainability-inclusive courses in our inventory focus on these areas. Both areas offered courses on the opioid epidemic. WVU feels these were important to include because of the many intersections of environment and public health in our state. The social justice component of the environment and sustainability is being examined closer than ever before, and continuing education on the opioid epidemic and supporting communities that have been ravaged by it is a large component of that for our state.
