Management Training Program begins February 1, 2008

The Hawaii Primary Care Association has partnered with Kapiolani Community College, the University of Hawaii's Department of Public Health and the Pacific Public Health Training Center to create a certificate course in Leadership and Management in Community Health Settings.

The six-session program was designed to address management training needs identified by Hawaii's network of Community Health Centers and Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems.  This is the second of a two-part management training series.

This project is partially (50%) funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, through the Hawaii Rural Development Project.

The course will run Fridays from February 1 to May 9, 2008, six sessions total, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. with lunch included.

Participants may enroll in individual modules or in the entire series.  Participants completing all sessions of the program shall receive a certificate of professional development issued by Kapiolani Community College's Business Education Unit.  This series will also be available for credit through the University of Hawaii Outreach College as a graduate-level public health course, PH 797T.  Please contact Dr. Valerie Yontz at vyontz@hawaii.edu or at 808-956-5771 for further information on credit course eligibility.
