Welcome!
The former Southeast (Region IV) Public Health Training Center, headquartered at Emory University, partnered with the J.W. Fanning Institute for Leadership Development at the University of Georgia to offer the Region IV Public Health & Primary Care Leadership Institute (PHPC LI) from 2019 – 2026. The PHPC LI providee training for emerging leaders who work in state, local, or tribal public health departments/tribal health organizations or in FQHCs/FQHC Look-Alikes in the eight states that comprise HHS Southeast Region IV (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee).
The PHPC LI was an 8-month virtual experience providing 40 contact hours of interaction. The Institute consisted of an orientation session, a multi-day opening retreat, and 6 additional sessions that last 2 hours each (with the final graduation session lasting 3 hours). In addition, Fellows completed approximately 2 hours of intersession work in between each session. Zoom video conferencing technology was used for the sessions.
Program Goal and Learning Objectives
The goal of the PHPC LI was to advance adaptive and strategic leadership skills to support multi-sector vision setting and leadership necessary to address the social, community-based, and economic determinants of health.
By the end of the Institute, Fellows will be able to:
- Identify personal leadership strengths
- Address a leadership challenge through a self-directed adaptive approach
- Engage in peer consulting with Region IV colleagues
- Apply leadership competencies in the context of public health and primary care.
