The Summer Institute in Health Policy and Management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health provides short-term, intensive, educational opportunities for public health practitioners and other professionals. The Institute serves as a convenient venue for health professionals to begin or enhance their education in a variety of public health disciplines, with course work focusing on key policy and management issues. Participants learn about policies as well as management and leadership approaches that work, along with strategies for effective implementation. Courses offered by the Institute are comparable to regular academic year courses and may be taken for academic credit or non-credit/continuing education.
The Health Policy and Management Summer Institute is dedicated to training health professionals and public health practitioners by strengthening their public health knowledge and skills. Our courses are taught by distinguished faculty engaged in innovative public health research who collaborate with public health leaders locally, nationally and internationally. The Summer Institute provides the same academically rigorous courses offered to degree candidates during the regular academic year, compressed into a shorter time frame. To maximize learning opportunities, Summer Institute participants receive and read materials prior to the course session, allowing for intensive in-class discussion and the application of concepts to real-world examples. The 12th Annual Health Policy and Management Summer Institute will be held June 2-20, 2008. All courses are taught in English. | |
