To help strengthen our foundational MCH courses, the Center partners with MCH alumni, staff from MN Department of Health’s (MDH) Child and Family Health Division and other community and agency partners to co-teach MCH courses.
These instructors provide an opportunity for students to learn directly from practitioners involved in the development, delivery and evaluation of public health and MCH services, including Title V. We’re grateful that our HRSA MCHB funding helps students engage directly with practitioners, especially as they enter the MCH workforce.
