Building Collaborations Across Sectors to Improve Population Health

0.5 Credits.

This course provides an overview of the essential role interprofessional teams in building multi-sector collaborations and partnerships in population health. Following deliberate, evidence-based methods for effective collaboration, the course identifies and discusses several key factors that can only be addressed through cross-sector efforts. These factors include the social determinants of health, complexity, context, and societal resistance. The Collective Impact Model, designed to tackle entrenched, socially complex issues, is introduced as an evidence-based for effective, large scale, sustainable change.
