Leadership Education in Adolescent Health Projects

The MCHB Leadership Education in Adolescent Health Projects are unique. They provide interdisciplinary leadership training, faculty development, continuing education, scholarship, technical assistance and collaboration with MCH programs, Title V Programs in state departments of public health, State Adolescent Health Coordinators, policymakers and professional organizations concerned with the health of adolescents. Leadership training produces the manpower for the next generation of leaders who will influence and train clinicians, public policy and public health experts, investigators and educators. All of these individuals will move the field forward by improving clinical services, program development and research/evaluation.

The seven currently funded programs have a long history of commitment to training in adolescent health. Two of the existing programs (Cincinnati and University of California, San Francisco) were among the first cohort of interdisciplinary programs funded in 1977. One Program (Minnesota) was initially funded in 1978. Children's Hospital at Harvard (one of the first physician-only programs funded by MCHB in the 1960's) and Indiana were initially funded in 1992. based on their demonstrated excellence in leadership training, Baylor and Rochester joined the cohort of currently funded programs in 1997.
