Leadership, Legacy, and Community: A Retreat to Advance Maternal and Child Health Scholarship and Practice

This is a professional development Retreat for junior and senior MCH practitioners and scholars, we will convene to discuss, make recommendations, and identify strategies to address major evidence-based challenges we face in maternal and child health; further develop our leadership skills, and lay the foundation for building an MCH community of academics and practitioners that draws on the energy and idealism of junior MCH professionals and the energy and wisdom of senior MCH professionals in both academic and practice settings. When these four groups gather together to collectively address the challenges we face in our daily struggle to improve MCH, we believe the synergistic impact will result in new energy, ideas, and collaborations that will help motivate and inspire us as we move forward.
