The Maternal and Child Health Center of Excellence (CoE) is part of a network of 13 CoEs across the country funded by the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA). Our purpose is to improve the health of birthing people, infants, children, youth, and their families by training future and current MCH practitioners.
We aim to expand the MCH workforce regionally and nationally, with emphasis on increasing MCH leaders from historically disadvantaged groups. We offer MCH training for master’s and doctoral students through a certificate program and doctoral training program. The MCH Certificate program is a highly competitive, cross-departmental graduate concentration designed for preparing MPH students for the scientific, programmatic, and leadership challenges of MCH.
