Healthy Wisconsin Leadership Institute
The goal of the Healthy Wisconsin Leadership Institute is to contribute to development of a “competent workforce,” one of the infrastructure priorities of the state health plan, Healthiest Wisconsin 2010.  The Institute is a collaborative effort between the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Medical College of Wisconsin, and numerous public health system partners.  Its mission is to enhance the development of transformational leaders who engage in innovative community health improvement activities that protect and promote the health of the public. The target audience is very broadly defined as “all those providing essential public health services, regardless of the nature of their employing agency.” The Healthy Wisconsin Leadership Institute offers varied and unique learning opportunities, including a team-based community health improvement program, health policy training, and workshops that promote lifelong learning and leadership development. All programs are interrelated with educational content based on a framework that combines core public health and leadership competencies.
