Public Health Leadership Institute of Florida
The Public Health Leadership Institute of Florida (PHLIF) at the University of South Florida’s College of Public Health
is dedicated to providing the finest leadership development possible to those who are, and who will be, active in improving the health of Floridians. The Institute is founded on the belief that excellence in training and development will significantly enhance the leadership abilities of individuals working to improve the health of our communities. As a result of their leadership training, graduates will strengthen the capacity of the public health system to improve the health of the people of their communities and the state. The PHLIF is a year-long intense study of the key topics in leadership, complemented by activities and exercises emphasizing the practice of public health. The focus of the program is to provide local, state and private sector public health professionals the opportunity to develop their leadership skills regardless of role, level, or area of expertise. The program emphasizes self awareness, and growth and mastery of essential leadership skills such as visioning, team building, communication, and political effectiveness. Each scholar completes a personal project either in their community or home agency. The goal of the Leadership Institute is to provide an effective balance of theory and practice in leadership which can be immediately applied to confronting and resolving the most urgent public health issues in Florida.
