Leadership, Legacy, and Community: A Retreat To Advance Maternal and Child Health Scholarship and Practice
Location: University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) - Chicago, IL
On July 16-18, 2008, the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Program will host a pioneering MCH Leadership Retreat in Chicago on the UIC Campus.
Leadership, Legacy, and Community is a new professional development Retreat designed for interdisciplinary, junior and senior MCH practitioners and scholars. In this Retreat, we will convene to discuss, make recommendations, and identify strategies to address major evidence-based challenges we face in MCH (what to do when there is no intervention for an important problem, what to do if our intervention works but not for the intended problem, what to do if our intervention doesn't work for all populations, and what to do if we have a great intervention but no investment in it). We will also engage in training designed to further develop our leadership skills no matter what stage of career we are in (new to the workforce, mid-level career professional, seasoned professional) or type of career (academia or practice).
Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, we will lay the foundation for building an MCH community of academics and practitioners that draws on the energy and idealism of junior MCH professionals and the energy and wisdom of senior MCH professionals in both academic and practice settings. When these four groups gather together to collectively address the challenges we face in our daily struggle to improve MCH, we believe the synergistic impact will result in new energy, ideas, and collaborations that will help motivate and inspire us as we move forward.
Finally, we will be offering 30-minute leadership coaching sessions for attendees at the Retreat. Space is limited so please contact us to arrange for an appointment.
For additional information about Leadership, Legacy, and Community, visit our website at www.uic.edu/sph/mch/continuing_education.htm. Here you will be able to download the brochure, register online, or download a registration form to mail to us.
