Maternal and Child Health Leadership Training Program
The Maternal and Child Health Leadership Training Program is funded by the Health and Human Resources Administration to provide leadership training in MCH that focuses on promoting health equity through an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach that is culturally competent and family-centered.
Florida needs a diverse/skilled MCH workforce to address its unique population, the persistent health disparities within several key MCH indicators and the growing regional workforce shortages. The vision of the MCH Training Program is that "all children and families will live and thrive in healthy communities served by a quality workforce that helps assure their health and well-being."
