Community Health Leadership Curriculum
Duke's Community Health Leadership Program is offered each March and September at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Community Health Leadership students attend one on-campus session, where they complete three days of intensive study with Duke Medical Center faculty, and have close, hands-on interaction with many Durham community organizations. After their on-campus session, students complete the remainder of the program via distance-based learning, allowing them to return to work in their respective communities while still remaining connected to each other and to faculty. While online, students share everyday experiences, ideas, and feedback, helping them continue the learning process and implement new findings into their workplaces and communities. Students are required to provide written reports of their progress and will discuss their progress in two follow-up teleconferences with Community Health Leadership Program team members over a six month period.
