The Academic-Practice Partnership
The Academic-Practice Partnership seeks to bring academia, Title V MCH, and state and local public health together to create opportunities for academics, students and practitioners to learn from one another and develop mutually beneficial collaborations. Working collaboratively and utilizing each other’s expertise and strengths, academic-practice partnerships can address the complex challenges of the MCH in the 21st century.
The Academic-Practice Partnership Newsletter (APP-Newsletter) will highlight new and existing partnerships between academia, Title V MCH, and state and local public health experts as well as share relevant literature, resources and tools, job and career opportunities, and more.
In addition, we also want to learn from you. Share examples of your academic and Title V MCH and state and local public health collaborations, projects, case studies, evaluations, etc. with us by emailing derosset@email.unc.edu.
