Letter from the Director
As the Director for the Leadership Education Program
in Maternal & Child Public Health, I am pleased
that you are interested in the field of Maternal and Child Health,
and specifically what we have to offer at the University of Minnesota.
As you will see through your exploration of our website,
we have strong historical underpinnings as well as a vibrant present
day program and set of activities focused on women, children and
families. We are committed both to the training of new leaders
for MCH through our current degree programs, as well as outreach
to professionals in the community who are serving MCH populations.
