The Academy faculty are seeking current or future executives, elected officials, business leaders, policymakers, nonprofit executives, journalists and other community leaders who have limited experience in health policy and a desire to learn about health policy.
Each session of FHPLA is focused on one region within Florida. Previously, our cohorts have been based in and around Gainesville, North Central Florida (Marion, Lake, and Sumter), Jacksonville, and the Panhandle. Each year community leaders in the region of focus are especially encouraged to apply. Check back in Fall 2024 for more information about our next region of focus.Â
Each week participants will spend five hours made up of one hour preparing for the class by completing preparatory materials and four hours of interaction with instructors.
There is no cost to participate in the Academy. Participants will receive a $1000 stipend for professional development.
