MCH Training Program Web Cast: Introduction to the MCH Pipeline Training Program

Wednesday, April 9, 2008
2 - 4pm est
Location: Online

On this web cast, you will learn about the four projects in the MCH Pipeline Training Program. The MCH Pipeline Training Program promotes the development of a culturally diverse and representative health care workforce by recruiting, training, and retaining students from under-represented minorities into maternal and child public health professions. Each project will give an overview of the program, strengths of the program, challenges, relationship with a non-minority serving MCH Training program, lessons learned and future steps. MCH Pipeline projects will have the opportunity to pose any questions to the rest of the MCH Training programs. After their presentations, the MCH Training programs viewing the web cast can ask their questions. MCH Training programs should take away ideas on how to partner with a minority serving MCH Training program to develop their own MCH Pipeline programs with or without MCH Training funds. Slides for this web cast should be available at http://www.mchcom.com by April 3^rd. A 15-20 minute Q&A session will follow the presentations so that grantees have an opportunity to ask questions.
