In 2023, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Public Health Training Center (MAR-PHTC) launched the inaugural cohort of Soaring to New Heights: The MAR-PHTC Public Health Leadership Institute. 

The 8-week virtual MAR-PHTC Public Health Leadership Institute is for professionals new to leadership and ready to grow in their roles in either the public health or primary care setting. The Leadership Institute will focus on bridging disciplinary boundaries between public health and primary practice with the goal of improving population health. Drawing on expertise from across MAR-PHTC’s network, the Leadership Institute affords participants a deep and immersive learning experience that includes topics such as change management, continuous quality improvement, systems-level thinking, community engagement, communications, decision making, and strategic planning.  

Learning Objectives  
Upon completion, participants will be able to:  

• demonstrate a personal and organizational leadership style;  
• create change management strategies that derive from working with collaborators and involve multiple perspectives;  
• design a systems-level thinking approach to strategic planning, policy development, and community engagement; and  
• apply persuasive communication strategies with professional and lay audiences to collaboratively address a public health challenge.  

Target Audience  
The MAR-PHTC Public Health Leadership Institute is for those working in public health or primary care in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington D.C., or West Virginia. Participants are admitted by application only. Applicants should be early career professionals new to their leadership role who have not attended a leadership institute previously.
