Arkansas Public Health Institute
The goals of the Arkansas Public Health Institute (APHI) are to develop and broaden public health practitioner leadership
skills, promote teamwork and business planning, and improve skills in program planning and evaluation, communication
and data interpretation and analysis. Scholars attend 3 one-week sessions and a final 2 1/2-day session covering public health topics such as epidemiology, health behavior, environmental health, leadership and management, data use, survey design, communication and cultural diversity. Individual leadership skills are strengthened through scholar participation on multidisciplinary teams for research, and development and presentation of a business plan at graduation. This internal workforce development initiative is a collaborative effort between the Arkansas Department of Health and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health.
