Welcome!
The Region IV Public Health Training Center, headquartered at Emory University, has partnered with the J.W. Fanning Institute for Leadership Development at the University of Georgia to offer the Kentucky Public Health Emerging Leadership Institute (KY-PHELI). With funding from the Kentucky Department for Public Health, the KY-PHELI provides training for 36 emerging public health leaders from local, district and state health departments in Kentucky.
The KY-PHELI is an 8-month experience providing 50 contact hours of interaction. The Institute consists of a virtual orientation session, multi-day in-person opening and closing retreats, and 5 additional virtual sessions lasting 2 hours each. In addition, Fellows complete approximately 2-3 hours of intersession work in between each session. Zoom video conferencing technology is used for the virtual sessions.
Program Goal and Learning Objectives
The goal of the KY-PHELI is to advance adaptive and strategic leadership skills to support multi-sector vision setting and leadership necessary to address the social, community-based, and economic determinants of health.
By the end of the Institute, Fellows will be able to:
- Identify personal leadership strengths.
- Address a leadership challenge through a self-directed adaptive approach.
- Engage in peer consulting with Kentucky colleagues.
- Apply leadership competencies in the context of public health.
