ASPPH Presents Webinar: Community Assessment and Partnerships
February 14 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST
Join us for an insightful webinar on Community Assessment and Partnerships, featuring a presentation from Dr. Marybeth (MB) Mitcham, Director of the Online MPH Program and Assistant Professor in the College of Public Health at George Mason University.
Effective efforts to support positive changes in community health outcomes do not have to be boring. Using a potluck dinner approach, where everyone brings a little something different to the table, where open discussions are supported, and where each person’s input and involvement are equally valued, innovative magic happens. In this presentation, the framework of interdisciplinary community health work will be discussed, using several examples of successful interdisciplinary and innovative community health work borne out of this potluck dinner approach.
