Join ASTHO and the Public Health Foundation (PHF) for an insightful webinar exploring the power of academic health department (AHD) partnerships.
In this session, participants will gain a foundational understanding of AHD partnerships and hear how Public Health Institute (PHI) Center for Health Leadership & Impact, supported by The California Endowment, developed the California Academic Health Department (CAHD) initiative.
The CAHD initiative successfully bridged the gap between local health departments and academic programs of public health to create a structured workforce pathway system. By connecting emerging graduates with meaningful applied experience, they've built a sustainable system for transitioning new professionals into public health careers. Join us to learn proven strategies for building academic-practice partnerships that cultivate a workforce ready to serve their communities.
Learning objectives:
1. Identify three key features of a successful workforce pathway program.
2. Describe strategies to build lasting partnerships between academic institutions and health departments to improve employment outcomes.

- Karya Lustig, MA, ISS, Director, PHI Center for Health Leadership & Impact
