Exciting health, science and tech advances are happening across Florida and the nation. These advancements are creating a steep learning curve for community leaders and locally elected officials who may bear responsibility for basic health care policy.
The Bob Graham Center and UF Health have now partnered to create the Florida Health Policy Leadership Academy, an initiative to empower communities with leaders who are knowledgeable and skilled in public health policy making. Participants will learn skills to measure and monitor population health, gain understanding of pressing issues in public health, and make enduring connections with other community leaders.
About The Instructors
The core instructors include UF faculty and have experience in developing and implementing health policy. In addition, state and national experts will teach select classes and activities. Importantly, the fellows will participate in group activities and panels that will serve as peer-teaching.
If you have any questions, please contact the Academy Director, Dr. Christopher R. Cogle, at christopher.cogle@medicine.ufl.edu, or Dr. Kevin Bird, at kevin.bird@ufl.edu.
The Florida Health Policy Leadership Academy receives additional funding from the Florida Department of Health and the Merck Foundation.
