BackgroundIn 2021, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a call for proposals to establish public health federal leadership fellowships. The Health Leadership Impact Fellowship was developed accordingly with this proposal.
PROGRAM PURPOSE The Health Leadership Impact Fellowship aims to enhance skills and competencies necessary for federal leadership service among participants through: 1) a curriculum focused on health care policy, leadership skill building and cultural competence, and aligned with core competencies (e.g. leading change, leading people, results driven, business acumen, and building coalitions) for Federal leadership; and 2) fellowship-related work experiences, supplemental learning opportunities, and mentorship. The Health Leadership Impact Fellowship will fill a gap in federal fellowship opportunities for individuals interested in working at HHS to advance health differences and achieve better health for all through health policies, programs and practices. In addition, the Health Leadership Impact Fellowship is expected to support efforts to provide opportunities for recent graduates to succeed in senior positions within HHS agencies by providing professional development and career pathway opportunities. Reducing and eliminating health differences is a critical step toward promoting and achieving health for all. The funder expects the initiative to ultimately address health differences through supporting an impactful public health workforce. The funder expects awardees to demonstrate the impact of project efforts on outcomes and the overarching goal of advancing public health. The HLIF at the Fitzhugh Mullan Institute for Health Workforce Equity (Mullan Institute) is one of three programs. The Mullan Institute is located in the Department of Health Policy & Management, Milken Institute School of Public Health, at the George Washington University (GW) in Washington, D.C. The Mullan Institute aims to strengthen the health workforce in the United States and around the world. Our vision is a world in which there is a diverse health workforce that has the competencies, opportunities, and courage to ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to attain their full health potential. The Mullan Institute also houses the Residency Fellowship in Health Policy (RFHP) program, an intensive 3-week health policy elective for physicians in training. It aims to orient residents and fellows to the fast-changing world of health policy and prepare them to be effective leaders in system-based practice. The Mullan Institute also houses the Social Mission Alliance (SMA) - a national movement that aims to advance social mission in health professions education, defined as the contribution of a school in its mission, programs, and the performance of its graduates, faculty and leadership in advancing health. The Milken Institute School of Public Health's Department of Health Policy and Management offers a deep bench of expertise and experience in health policy with faculty that have held leadership positions across the federal government.
