Leadership for Public Health Crises will enable current and prospective managers,
directors, unit heads, and elected officials to effectively lead their
organizational response to profound health-related emergencies and to build
leadership capacity across multiple sectors, agencies, organizations, and
divisions. This series of courses prepares

business, homeland security, education, and related fields) and practitioners
in a range of roles in this broader arena who seek to attain or advance in
leadership roles. The courses focus on foundational
competencies required to confidently and competently lead in preparation for
and response to far-reaching health-related crises, including communication,
cross-agency collaboration, organizational contingency planning, and data analysis,
especially as these relate to civilian sectors.
