Public Health Executive Development Program

The Illinois Public Health Executive Development Program is designed for existing leaders that are preparing to move into senior executive positions.

Fellows are paired with an executive coach, who will guide the learning experience throughout the year, and serve as a source of career advice. Fellows attend three face-to-face conferences where they network with other national public health leaders and learn state-of-the-art executive management and leadership skills from national public health experts.

The Center for Public Health Practice at UIC-SPH is currently updating the course curriculum, and developing a proposal for a collaborative project with St. Louis University, School of Public Health (Heartland Centers). This will involve an advanced executive curriculum with a crisis leadership focus. Please check this site periodically for updates.
