We are pleased to announce that
we now have a website for our Youth Health Equity Model of Practice (YHEMOP)
program!
As many of you are aware, the
purpose of the YHEMOP is to support the future design, implementation, and
evaluation of federal and public health workforce policies, specifically as it
relates to capacity building for diverse organizations that promote health
equity and/or address health disparities. Through this initiative, Health
Equity Fellows (students enrolled in higher education studies) will be matched
with diverse organizations to complete short-term Health Equity Projects that
help improve health outcomes and close the gap on racial and ethnic disparities
in health and health care. Moving forward, the website will have up-to-date
information about placement opportunities and student applications, which are
available to download online.
The student application for
summer 2017 fellows is currently open and the deadline for student
applications is February 15th, 2017. Applications to serve as a
placement site for summer 2018 will be open in November 2017. We encourage you
to share this information and link with your network and interested contacts.
Thank you,
Andrew K.
