Annotation

In 1935, Title V of the Social Security Act established a federal-state partnership to address the needs of the maternal and child health population. Over the years, though changes have occurred, Title V remains the oldest federal program dedicated to the health of all maternal health and children. Strong leadership and promotion skills are critical to the program’s success. Program faculty discussed national trends in maternal and child health, national leadership for MCH, current challenges and opportunities, and future directions. *NOTE: This course was originally delivered as a satellite broadcast.

• Describe maternal and child health leadership and current challenges and opportunities.

• Discuss leadership and the importance of promotion.

• Present applications of maternal and child leadership in current practice settings.

• Provide ideas and suggestions for future directions of Title V Maternal and Child Health Programs in light of the Affordable Care Act.
