Northwest Regional Public Health Leadership Institute
The NWPHLI offers a year-long learning experience designed to increase participants’ community leadership skills through on-site and distance education. Public health professionals from diverse backgrounds and organizations study and work together to develop health leadership skills that apply to their organizations and communities. The goal is to
create integrated and innovative approaches to building healthy communities. Faculty members experienced in community health leadership worked with alumni to develop a curriculum that is organized around five content modules:
current public health challenges, leadership skills assessment and development, collaborative community leadership,
crisis leadership, and mentoring and coaching.
