Academic Health Department Learning Community has a New Look

Have you visited the Academic Health Department (AHD) Learning Community online recently? The AHD Learning Community engages in a variety of activities to support the development, maintenance, and expansion of AHDs, and the Learning Community webpages have recently been redesigned to better provide access to these activities, including virtual meetings and webinars, the newly developed AHD Mentorship Program, resources and tools, and online discussions. In addition, a new webpage has been added with general information about AHDs and a preliminary list of AHD partnerships present in the US. Visit www.phf.org/AHDLC to explore the changes that have been made and learn more about how you can get involved in the Learning Community. Suggestions for future webpage enhancements are also welcome and may be sent to Kathleen Amos at [email protected].
