[PHSW] [Fwd: UW's 2003 Summer Institute - Aug 4-8]

  Friends:

Having participated in the University of Washington's Summer Institute 
in years past both as a learner and as a teacher (allbeit of a very 
small section of the GIS session), I can tell you that it's worth the 
time and money to attend. Great way to learn new skills and brush up on 
your old ones.

Friends,

We're sending this note to let you know that the brochure for the Summer 
Institute for Public Health Practice to be held the week of August 4-8, 
2003 at the University of Washington is going out in the mail. It is 
sponsored by the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice in the 
School of Public Health and Community Medicine. If you want to beat the 
mail, download an electronic copy of the brochure, including the 
registration form, at http://nwcphp.org/niphp/brochure.pdf

This year's week-long institute is integrated around the theme of Public 
Health Preparedness: Tools for the Front-line, and is designed to 
provide public health practitioners with intensive, practical, case 
based training in support of bioterrorism and emergency public health 
preparedness.

For the first time we will be offering an advanced epidemiologic methods 
course in addition to our introductory course in the Epidemiologic 
Methods Track. Students in the Management Track will have course options 
to take either Public Health Law or Communication of Emergency 
Preparedness and either Performance Management or Interagency 
Collaboration. There also will be separate track for Geographic 
Information Systems (GIS) in public health that includes Caliper
Maptitude® software. Each of these tracks and other aspects of the 
Institute are described in detail in the attached brochure. We believe 
that this training (in disease surveillance, outbreak investigation, 
performance management, interagency cooperation, communication, law, and 
graphical display of data) will build competencies that are directly 
applicable to many aspects of general public health practice.

***SPACE IS LIMITED to about 20-25 people per track so register early***

For more information, and for registration materials, please see our Web 
site at http://nwcphp.org/niphp/. The cost of the Institute will be 
$1000 ($1,300 for the GIS track, which includes a copy of Caliper 
Maptitude®  software).

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. "  Alvin Toffler
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." T. S. Eliot
"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both." James Michener
