Health Policy Training for Health Equity Leaders
Open accessAbstract
Health professional training programs increasingly recognize the importance of health policy training. Despite integration of this training into health professional education, there have been limited published studies about health policy training and few studies that meaningfully measure and evaluate learner outcomes. The Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine developed a multidisciplinary, post-doctoral, health policy fellowship program in 2009, uniquely focused at the intersections of health policy, health equity, and leadership development. The program curriculum was intentionally designed with desired learner outcomes, aligning training and learner experiences with these outcomes, and meaningfully capturing and measuring outcomes in program evaluation. We present our training approach as well as results from an alumni survey assessing learner outcomes one to five years post fellowship completion. To our knowledge, this is the first study that evaluates the longitudinal impact of health policy training on the career trajectories of program graduates. We believe this offers a number of opportunities for replication and translation across health professional training programs.Ethn Dis. 2019;29(Suppl 2): 405-412. doi:10.18865/ed.29.S2.405

The Introduction (page unavailable) describes a fellowship with policy-leadership shadowing, experiential learning, and two eight-week practica. It does not say fellows had to relocate or establish that relocation is often required by such programs. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
