This training is the fourth module in the Strategic Skills Training Series focused on Change Management for Public Health Professionals developed by Region 2 Public Health Training Center. This learning module will look at health equity from a “change management” perspective. Specifically, this module will provide learners with insights about how awareness of various concepts can support local public health efforts to take action and move forward on the road to achieving health equity. Learners will be exposed to valuable content about topics linked to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion and see how to facilitate change in a typical public health setting using a case study approach set in the fictitious Tycho County.

Learners will be able to:

1. Define key concepts that contribute to health equity in society: justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
2. Identify the impact of health equity for vulnerable populations
3. Clarify the role of public health leaders in creating greater health equity
4. Establish links between change management and making improvements in health equity
5. Assess the status of health equity in a local community
6. Gather diverse perspectives about factors that affect the health of vulnerable populations
7. Identify ways to communicate about challenges and opportunities for public health equity
