  1. ATMCH meeting February 28, 2013

  2. Outline • Accountability • Content • Evaluation • Communication and Outreach

  3. ATMCH’s Mission • Aims to provide leadership in education, research, and service in the field of maternal and child health. • Offers an interdisciplinary forum through which MCH faculty from schools of public health and other institutions of higher learning can share the knowledge, ideas, and skills essential to educating students, advancing MCH research, and applying research results to MCH policies, programs, and services

  4. Updated based on conversations at strategic planning session at UIC retreat • Mission: A professional venue for teachers, educators, and students in academic programs committed to improving the health and well-being of women, children, and families across the lifespan to 1) discuss, design and disseminate excellent MCH teaching, education, and technical assistance strategies and programs, 2) engage in the development and conduct of innovative MCH research projects, and 3) to advocate for a strong focus on MCH training in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs. • Mission: Teachers, educators, and students in MCH and MCH-related academic programs participate in an MCH Teaching and Education Community of Practice  that engages the MCH workforce in work that results in significant achievement of Healthy People 2020 goals for women, children, and families.   •  I know what is meant here but I’m not sure if the use of the term “community of practice” will make sense to all. •  Not sure if we want to put a limit on the mission statement but I’m stuck. •  This could be wordsmithed, I think, to be a vision.
