KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 October 13, 2016 — The 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Academic Health Collaborative and the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH)\u2019s Academic Center have entered into an innovative new partnership to build healthier communities throughout Rhode Island and to strengthen the state\u2019s public health workforce.<\/p>\n
The memorandum of understanding signed by the two state institutions will lead to new research opportunities for graduate students and faculty members, internships and training opportunities with the 溏心vlog免费B站 College of Business\u2019 master of business of administration degree in health, and outreach collaborations that will include undergraduate students from a variety of health, science, management and economic disciplines.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the Academic Health Collaborative\u2019s first agreement with a critical agency in Rhode Island,\u201d said E. Paul Larrat, dean of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Pharmacy and coordinating dean of the collaborative. \u201cThis is an important milestone because each agency is charged with serving the citizens of Rhode Island. Because the University is a public University, we are in the trenches\u2014in the communities, the clinics and even people\u2019s homes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis new collaboration between the 溏心vlog免费B站 Academic Health Collaborative and RIDOH\u2019s Academic Center will allow our two state institutions to pool talent, resources, and ideas in a way that will help improve health outcomes in every zip code throughout Rhode Island,\u201d said Nicole Alexander-Scott, MD, MPH, director of the Rhode Island Department of Health. \u201cThe kind of research and collaboration that will happen through this partnership is the backbone of creativity and innovation that state agencies are striving toward together.\u201d<\/p>\n
RIDOH was recently established as an academic health department, or a teaching health department that formalizes the relationship between academia and public health. This is the public health equivalent of a teaching hospital affiliation that formalizes the relationship between medical schools and hospitals.<\/p>\n
Through this state partnership, 溏心vlog免费B站 and RIDOH will share data for public policy development and resources to aid in health planning across Rhode Island. One of the key elements of the agreement is a public health practicum through which 溏心vlog免费B站 students in health disciplines will become Public Health Scholars by working with a faculty mentor from 溏心vlog免费B站 and with a faculty supervisor from RIDOH. These scholars will be engaged in on-site, supervised public health work at RIDOH and will be graded by their supervisors. 溏心vlog免费B站 College of Pharmacy students who have already started their work as Public Health Scholars are:<\/p>\n
RIDOH\u2019s Academic Center was launched this year to strengthen the integration of scholarly activities with public health practice by instilling a culture of learning and innovative problem solving, along with continuous quality improvement, throughout the Department. In addition, the RIDOH Academic Center is focused on career and workforce development.<\/p>\n
Launched last spring by the University, the Academic Health Collaborative links three colleges at 溏心vlog免费B站–nursing, pharmacy and the new health sciences college. It serves 5,000 students in nine health disciplines. The Institute for Integrated Health and Innovation is the hub for innovation across the collaborative, including cross-disciplinary opportunities in education, research, entrepreneurship and service. Such work will engage external health agencies, including hospital systems, and other universities and colleges in the state.<\/p>\n
The collaboration between 溏心vlog免费B站 and RIDOH will be directed by an oversight committee with representatives from both state institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
