“The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) program is committed to improving the health and well-being of women, children, adolescents and families in the US and globally, and we officially launched as one of 13 HRSA-funded MCH Centers of Excellence in the country. As a Center, we have more opportunities for you to develop on-the-job experience, more chances for you to participate in cutting-edge research with world-class faculty, and more occasions for you to build community with peers and alumni who, like you, see challenges where others see obstacles. The curriculum is grounded in a life course perspective as an organizing framework that acknowledges distinct periods in human development and presents both risks and opportunities for interventions. The MCH program is serious about not only making a difference, but being the difference.”
