This one-year program caters to public health practitioners with advanced degrees (often healthcare providers experienced in maternal, child, and adolescent health services, including doctors, nurses, dentists, social workers, and psychologists) or medical students currently enrolled.
Upon completing the program, participants will be equipped to:
Analyze key health and social challenges affecting maternal, child, and adolescent groups from multiple viewpoints - including demographic, healthcare, societal, political, and community lenses - while understanding the scientific foundations behind these issues and potential solutions.
Outline the evolution and present framework of maternal and child health services in the U.S., including Title V policies, and articulate the fundamental principles and goals that justify specialized attention to these groups to advance healthcare equality.
Recognize primary data sources concerning these populations, evaluate their reliability, and utilize demographic information to assess community needs for program development, policy creation, and research initiatives.
Master foundational concepts and practical uses of quantitative research and epidemiological methods for problem-solving, culminating in a final research project that showcases these acquired skills.
