Description
This course is taught from a PMP, ACP, MPH and MCHES credential holder.
The Agile Public Health Master Class is designed to be more than just a lecture series; it is a transformative bridge for professionals looking to pivot meaningfully into a vital industry. By joining this cohort, you will gain access to a curriculum specifically engineered to provide three critical, career-defining insights:
Contextualizing Project Management: You will go beyond standard definitions to understand exactly how project management methodologies fit into the nuanced ecosystem of public health. We will explore how Agile frameworks can solve complex community health challenges, streamlining operations while maintaining the empathy required in this field.
Mastering Domain Translation: One of the biggest hurdles in changing careers is language. You will learn how to translate your current domain knowledge and hard-earned skills into the "dialect" of healthcare. We will work on reframing your existing expertise so that hiring managers see your background not as unrelated, but as a unique, value-add asset.
Activating Your Career Transition: Finally, we move from theory to momentum. You will stop planning and start working towards the tangible transition shift from non-healthcare to healthcare. This course provides the strategic roadmap to move you from an aspiring entrant to a confident participant in the health sector.
While these are the top three pillars of the program, the ecosystem of benefits extends much further, including networking and resource sharing. My sincere hope is that you join me for these learning opportunities and—like previous students—leave with outcomes that exceed your initial expectations.
Who this course is for:
- Public health professionals (MPH, DrPH, CHES) who want to add project management and Agile skills to their credential stack.
- Healthcare program managers and grant coordinators seeking structured frameworks to manage complex, multi-year health initiatives.
- Health educators and community health workers who lead programs but lack formal project management training.
- Project managers (PMP, PMI-ACP) looking to transition into healthcare, public health, or nonprofit health organizations.
