NJLEND Fellow Leadership Posters

All NJLEND Fellows and Boggs Center Interdisciplinary Trainees are required to complete a Leadership Project either independently or in inter-professional pairs or teams. The purpose of the project is to provide an opportunity for fellows to apply their knowledge and training to the development of a resource, implementation of a program, or conduct of research that benefits the larger MCH community. At the end of NJLEND year, all Fellows give a poster presentation, sharing their project findings and implications with a broad audience including families, practicing Maternal and Child Health professionals, healthcare providers, and policy leaders at the annual NJLEND Maternal and Child Health Leadership Symposium and Fellowship Graduation Event, presented virtually in 2019-2020.
