Leadership Education in Adolescent Health
The MCH Leadership Education in Adolescent Health (LEAH) training programs provide interdisciplinary leadership training in adolescent health for 5 core disciplines
- Medicine,
- Nursing,
- Nutrition,
- Psychology,
- Social work
The pre- and post-doctoral training prepares health professionals for leadership roles in public health practice and clinical care, research, training, and advocacy with the goal of improving family- and youth-centered, community-based care for adolescents and enhancing the capacity of Title V programs to improve young people's health.
Although each program has special areas of focus, the LEAH programs collaborate to improve the health status of adolescents, promote quality care, eliminate health disparities, and achieve the Healthy People 2010 Adolescent Objectives through partnerships with state and local health, educational, social service, and mental health agencies, professional organizations, providers, youth, families, and community organizations.
