The purpose of this study was to survey LHDs in New
England, given their diverse organization, to: (1) establish
a baseline of their existing working relationships with
neighboring academic institutions; (2) examine perceived
or existing barriers that inhibit the development of collaborations
with academic partners; (3) assess how they
jointly promote or engage in public health workforce
development; and (4) analyze which essential public health
services are embodied in their efforts or those that may be
reflected within their existing collaborative partnerships.
The authors discuss how effective academic-LHD partnerships
have the potential to facilitate a broad-based,
universal appreciation of public health among students via
a wide array of public health curricula, educational
resources, and applied experiential learning opportunities
in public health settings. The authors provide recommendations
for combining basic public health lessons with
practical experiences, expertise, and leadership offered by
LHDs, in order to foster a real, stronger understanding of
public health, its importance, practice, and relevance in
today’s society from a public health workforce perspective.
