Purpose
The purpose of the PPC program is to provide interdisciplinary training to improve the health of infants, children, and adolescents with chronic respiratory conditions, sleep issues, and other related special health care needs.
Program goals and objectives
The PPC program’s goals are to:
• Assemble interdisciplinary cohorts comprised of graduate or post-graduate trainees.[1]
• Recruit and retain diverse PPC trainees and faculty, emphasizing groups underrepresented in the maternal and child health (MCH) workforce.
• Engage people who have lived experience with chronic respiratory conditions, and/or their family members.
• Strengthen academic-practice partnerships with Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant (Title V) agencies[2] and community partners.
The program objectives to be accomplished during the period of performance are to:
• Develop and implement an interdisciplinary PPC curriculum.
• Recruit at least one trainee in each of these fields annually:
◦ Pediatric pulmonary medicine.
◦ Nursing.
◦ Nutrition.
◦ Social work.
◦ A needs-based discipline based on workforce shortages in your area or region.
• Recruit and retain trainees from backgrounds that are underrepresented in the MCH workforce, including but not limited to trainees from economically disadvantaged and racially/ethnically underrepresented backgrounds.
• Engage at least one person or family member of a person with lived experience with chronic respiratory conditions annually as a trainee, staff, or partner.
• Develop and enhance partnerships with at least one state Title V agency and at least one other MCH organization.
