| This session will present the goals, objectives, and approaches to training the public health workforce through academic practice linkages. A discussion will occur on how linkages can expand the knowledge and understanding of researchers and practitioners and contribute to public health infrastructure. Moreover, there will be examples of academic/practice linkages addressing workforce development. This will include a description of the projects along with the successes, difficulties, unexpected outcomes of the collaborations, and a follow-up on long-term outcomes. Focusing on a whole community incorporating diversity, and based on a reasonable core of shared values among an array of ethnic groups, one health department’s creative training program on community-professional partnership will be highlighted. Through this “teaching health department,” community hospitals, community health centers, schools of medicine and osteopathy, public health, nursing and pharmacy are coming together in coalition to bring medicine, public health, and the community together. | |||
| Learning Objectives: 1. Describe methods of building individual state capacity for workforce development through academic and practice partnerships. 2. Identify potential difficulties that may be encountered when engaging in academic practice partnerships. 3.
