Housed at UIC School of Public Health, the Summer Residential Enrichment Program seeks to inspire and prepare underrepresented and economically disadvantaged undergraduate students, college graduates and those changing professions to pursue graduate education and professional degrees in public health. SREP will use a comprehensive approach focusing on key concepts of public health and will include interaction with mentors who are at the forefront of public health and will stimulate participating students to consider public health as a career option. Program activities will be guided by the following principles:  Eliminate health disparities between minority and non-minority segments of the U.S. population  Improve public health practices by improving professional preparation of disadvantaged and underrepresented professionals  Enhance the quality of public health practice by improving the professional preparation of disadvantaged and underrepresented minorities  Recognize that minority leadership in public health is essential for addressing the myriad of public health efforts directed towards the prevention of disease and the organization of health care systems  Participate in efforts to collect and analyze data that could characterize and address the adverse health problems in minority and underserved populations  Recognize that the consideration of socio-cultural and environmental contexts is essential to addressing the needs of minority population http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28562937 http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28562937 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 17:30:00 CDT DetailsJune 5, 2013 '' July 24, 2013Classes meet on Wednesday evenings 5:30 pm -8:00 pmGRE Preparation is a part of the Graduate Pre-Application/Admission Program (GPAAP) of the Urban Health and Diversity Programs at UICSPH.

Having the courage to change tired, worn-out, difficult, negative, and non-productive conversations is essential to leading with inspiration and innovation and it is essential to improved MCH and public health. This is where we start our 2-day leadership development training this year. We begin with a session on enhancing professionalism including learning techniques for engaging with disruptive behaviors from our colleagues so that these individuals do not continue to send our teams/organizations into a quick downward spiral resulting in collective low productivity and stagnation. We will also practice methods to support exemplary leadership when we see it. This work is not for the faint of heart and it is necessary for individuals committed to shifting cultures and improving public health. http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420442 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420442 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 12:00:00 CDT Divisional Meeting for Epi/BIo http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420443 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420443 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:00:00 CDT Epidemiology Section Meeting http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420444 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420444 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 12:00:00 CDT Biostatistics Section Meeting http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420445 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420445 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 12:00:00 CDT Epi/Bio Division Meeting http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420446 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420446 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 12:00:00 CDT Epi/Bio Division Meeting http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420447 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420447 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 12:00:00 CST Epidemiology Section Meeting http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420448 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420448 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 12:00:00 CST Biostatistics Section Meeting http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420449 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420449 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:00:00 CST Epidemiology and Biostatistics Division Meeting http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420450 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420450 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 12:00:00 CST Epidemiology Section Meeting http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420451 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420451 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 12:00:00 CST Biostatistics Section Meeting http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420452 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420452 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 12:00:00 CST Epidemiology and Biostatistics Division Meeting http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420453 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420453 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:00:00 CDT Epidemiology Section Meeting http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420454 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420454 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 12:00:00 CDT Biostatistics Section Meeting http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420455 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420455 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 12:00:00 CDT Epidemiology and Biostatistics Division Meeting http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420456 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3920/28420456 Thu, 01 May 2014 12:00:00 CDT Epidemiology Section Meeting
