International MPH degrees - working in Canada/USA

[elop]

I am considering applying for the MPH programs in Hong Kong. I am wondering if anyone here knows what the public health field in NA views international MPH degrees? For example, the Hong Kong universities do not have CEPH. Is CEPH viewed very importantly in the field?

As far as I know, MPH in Canada is fairly a new field compared to the US. CEPH is viewed very importantly in the US. My academic advisor discourages any of us to apply to a non-accredited program. In Canada, there is currently only 4 school that is CEPH accredited.
