During this hands on workshop, learn how to find and evaluate evidence to support best practices in your public health work.

Participants in the Evidence Based Practice for Public health Leaders Summer Institute will:

• Learn to apply a systematic approach to identifying and solving practice problems within your agency and community.

• Learn skills to bridge the gap between practice and research,

• And learn how to operationalize best practice to improve outcomes and reduce costs.

The Wyoming Public Health Institute: Evidence Based Practice for Public Health Leaders is a hands-on interactive workshop to develop evidence-based practice skills. Students will have an opportunity to work on a practice problem currently faced in their agency. In addition, at least two follow up sessions (by phone or internet conferencing) will be planned for continued learning.

The WY Summer Institute was made available through grant funding from HRSA and the CDC/WY Bioterrorism Training Program.  The Institute is part of a collaborative WY Public Health Workforce Development Project in partnership with the WY Department of Health and the Public Health Workforce Preparedness Center at the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice, University of Washington, Seattle.

Faculty from the Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing, University of Wyoming, serve as project coordinators of the WY Workforce Development Project.
