Learning Partners

Applicants from governmental public health agencies may invite a "learning partner" to attend the program. A good learning partner is someone from outside governmental public health, with whom you already have a strong working relationship, and who has strong interest and experience in public health system change, particularly at the national level. (Learning partners must apply individually and be accepted.)
