Public Health Management Certificate Kick Off in Seattle

Public Health Management Certificate Kick-Off 

The Public Health Management Certificate is a year-long program that helps public health professionals develop core management skills. 

Learning Goals and Formats

The program curriculum covers core competencies developed by the Council on Linkages Between Academia and Public Health Practice. Learning takes place through the following activities.

• Program kick-off. The program begins with a one-hour orientation webinar on June 25, 2025. Further orientation and initial instruction are provided during the on-site session in Seattle. This in-person time allows scholars to meet each other, which is important for the group activities and engagement throughout the program.
• Core courses. The core curriculum blocks are presented through a series of online courses and weekly webinars. For more information, review the course summaries.
• Self-reflection. A workshop on positionality and a Skillscope Assessment help scholars reflect on how identity and biases manifest in management roles and how to effectively lead and supervise a diverse team.
• Integrated project. The integrated project ensures new skills aren’t just learned—they’re applied. Each scholar chooses a project that is timely and relevant to their current job, ideally something they already have on their workplan. They receive coaching from a seasoned public health leader to work through project challenges.
