About Us
The Center for Leadership Education in Maternal and Child Public Health is committed to improving the health of children, women and families. Center faculty and staff offer a Master's degree in Public Health (including an online degree program), continuing professional education, and consultation and technical assistance to community based organizations and agencies. Center faculty are involved in research in child health, adolescent health, family health, health disparities, reproductive health, and women's health.
Emphasis is placed on:
- leadership education of future public health practitioners and academicians;
- scholarship through research addressing the health needs of these populations, especially those who are most vulnerable;
- and partnership through collaboration with families, community professionals, and other academic departments focused on promoting the health of these populations.
