MPHI Session
Purpose: To report on the progress and next steps in renewing and developing the Medicine and Public Health Initiative and allied Institute (MPHI) network of health professionals, researchers, and educators within states, nationally and internationally. We invite all interested parties to attend and participate. See www.mphi.net MPHI’s major goal is bridging the gaps between clinical, community, and public health approaches through cooperative programs. There is a joint emphasis on the three themes of education, applied research and community based practice both domestically and internationally. We are extending the collaborative network to states and local chapters as critical to influencing and facilitating improving community health levels.
Learning Objectives: Attendees will participate in the general workshop to discuss organization, affiliate structure, project and network development. The purpose is to solicit ideas and actions from all attendees as well as examine specific action to form medicine, health professional, and public health collaborating initiatives in your own communities and areas of interest.
