In this one-hour webinar, which is part of the Hot Topics series, Paula Kett, PhD, MPH, RN, a research scientist at the University of Washington’s Center for Health Workforce Studies, and Dany Zemmel, MPH, the Training and Engagement Manager at the Region V Public Health Training Center, will focus on the components of public health practice that are important for health equity competencies.

These skill areas include identifying, influencing, and implementing policies, community engagement, and cross-sector partnership building.
