Harvard T. H. Chan School Executive and Continuing Education Launches Global Public Health Leadership Program | Executive and Continuing Education
The five- to six-month executive program equips health professionals with an understanding of the innovative approaches and emerging opportunities that can drive meaningful outcomes.
Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Executive and Continuing Education announces the launch of its five- to six-month Global Public Health Leadership Program. The program is designed to help public health and healthcare professionals develop skills in leadership, data analysis, risk assessment, and evidence-based decision making to strengthen health systems and promote equity. Enrollment is now open for a December 2024 start.
According to Healthcare Dive, $360B is the estimated annual savings from the use of artificial intelligence in the healthcare industry. Public health leaders must respond effectively to such advancements and risks to ensure ethical, secure, and accessible public health solutions. This program equips participants with the ability to navigate emergent opportunities with a robust perspective on leveraging data to form recommendations, garnering stakeholder alignment, and influencing strategies on varying levels of policy and political context.
“Today’s evolving public health landscape, shaped by the pandemic, makes it crucial for public health leaders to leverage innovative approaches, data, and new technologies for developing effective global health strategies,” says John E. McDonough, faculty director. “We have designed the Global Public Health Leadership Program to focus on broader systemic factors that affect patient outcomes. It empowers professionals with the skills and tools to tackle complex global public health challenges.”
The program’s curriculum leverages Harvard Chan School’s renowned expertise and interdisciplinary faculty to cover four key aspects: the forces impacting public health, data tools, navigating change, and global health policy. The transformative learning experience offers self-paced learning, live online sessions with the faculty, a global networking peer group, real-world case studies, and a capstone project that applies theory to a real-world health challenge. Participants also have the opportunity to join a two-day in-person networking event on the Harvard Chan School campus in Boston, Massachusetts. Upon completing the program, participants will receive a verified digital certificate of participation from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
The program, which will be delivered by Emeritus, is currently enrolling professionals and leaders in healthcare, public health, academia, research, and nonprofit organizations with a minimum of seven years of work experience who aspire to enhance their leadership capabilities and contribute to future public health initiatives and policies.
