  • Title: Academic-practice partnerships for community health workforce development.
    Author: Hawley SR, Molgaard CA, Ablah E, Orr SA, Oler-Manske JE, St Romain T.
    Journal: J Community Health Nurs; 2007; 24(3):155-65. PubMed ID: 17650985.
    Abstract:
    Despite increasing attention to academic-practice partnerships for health practice and workforce development, guidelines for how to implement such partnerships are few. The Kansas Public Health Workforce and Leadership Development (WALD) Center provides a successful example of such a partnership. The WALD Center implements public health education and training projects through a collaborative process of health needs identification, program conceptualization, research, and program evaluation. Such coordination allows for continuous practitioner-oriented program development and the sharing of a rural state's scarce resources between interconnected projects. The WALD Center's methods provide a model for academic-practice partnerships for community health practice and workforce development, even in environments with scarce health resources.
