Division Highlights
Highlighting Interdisciplinary / Interprofessional Training and Practice
The Division of MCH Workforce Development (DMCHWD) supports interdisciplinary and interprofessional education and training programs that emphasize leadership, and family-centered, community-based, culturally competent systems of care.

The primary goal was to train administrators with a public health and child/family focus for the new programs being developed in states under Title V.
