The Medicine and Public Health Initiative (MPHI) Update and Workshop
During these times of unprecedented challenge to public health, collaboration to support community health goals, assure resources, and work toward the common goals of health for all, alliance and mutual are more vital than ever and have historically moved communities to effective public health action. The MPHI Session reports 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. This year we are focusing on developing collaborative networks within States and across nations, 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 discussion on the state of collaboration, Opportunities and barriers, how to develop 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.
