Building a Public Health Leadership Hub
2016
This case follows the creation of a Public Health Leadership Hub within the Ontario Public Health Association in 2015. It was developed as a website that provides leadership development resources to public health sector professionals. Its design was based on an existing program proposal and informed by existing models across the world, along with a report from the Community Health Nurses of Canada, to address this leadership knowledge gap through the provision of learning resources combined with an educational program. A Leadership Reference Group was created to provide advice on the program content, delivery, possible participants, speakers, teaching methods, and duration.
The case includes guidance for instructors, including learning objectives and discussion questions. It is the fourth in an 11-case collection written by students in the MPH class of the Schulich Interfaculty Program in Public Health at Western University, Canada. The cases may be freely copied and used for educational purposes by an accredited educational institution.
