Leadership Development

Leadership Development

The MCAH Program encourages and promotes leadership by providing students with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand and analyze complex, changing, and current issues in the field and develop, implement, and evaluate systems of care, programs, and services for MCAH populations.

All MCAH students are required to enroll in a leadership course to fulfill competencies required by CEPH (Council on Education for Public Health, the independent agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to accredit schools of public health, and public health programs outside schools of public health). These options vary year to year. 

Professional Development

The RISE: Berkeley Public Health Career & Leadership Office offers workshops and trainings on various professional development topics. All MCAH students are encouraged to attend. See a listing of upcoming events here
