Professional Development Workshops

One of HEI’s Core Areas of Expertise

HEI’s team has extensive professional development and training experience in a variety of different public health/global health areas.  Our interactive professional development workshops are specifically designed to meet the needs of staff and board members of non-profit health organizations, associations, foundations, and hospitals, as well as other public health professionals from US and international organizations and government agencies. We also welcome other professionals with an interest in public health, and/or health equity. Workshop topics include: health communication, global health, new media,  strategic partnerships, research and evaluation, health literacy, strategic program planning and evaluation, and organizational assessment. On request, professional development workshops can be held at the organization’s location and customized for special needs and audiences.
