African Americans, Native Americans/ Alaska Natives, Native
Hawaiian/ Pacific Islanders, Asian Americans, and Hispanics
are under-represented in public health leadership. The
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's
program
Emerging Leaders in Public Health (ELPH)
is designed to prepare the next generation of public health
leaders by identifying and training those individuals with
the talent to serve in significant leadership capacities in
the next decade.
This nine-month intensive program is targeted towards
minority individuals who are committed to careers in public
health. Scholars learn the essential skills necessary for
leading and managing in a turbulent public health
environment through a combination of on-site intensive
workshops, personalized coaching, action learning teams and
individualized leadership coaching.
