- Mastering the Roles of Supervision
is our latest online training! This training is based on the book "Supervising New York State: A Framework for Excellence" (copyright 1990, New York State Governor's Office of Employee Relations) and offers a good examination of the competing roles supervisors must master to become effective in their jobs. Activities and self-assessments guide supervisors to finding their own path to mastery. - Expanding Academic and Public Health Practice Partnerships On March 26, 2007, representatives from schools of public health and state and local health departments gathered in New York City to discuss academic accreditation standards relevant to academic/practice patnerships and the health department accreditation initiative. Learn more from presentations by Hugh Tilson, Susan Allan, and Harold Cox.
