Welcome! We’re delighted that you are considering joining us for the 2009 NACDD Chronic Disease Academy, March 25 – 27, 2009, in Seattle, Washington. You will be participating in a unique educational opportunity – choosing among 20 different skill-based training programs for the ones which address your specific professional needs. The trainings, which range in length from one day to 1 ½ days, will be interactive, concentrated presentations and will provide immediate value when you return to your workplace.
The content and skills presented at the Academy are based on the NACDD Competencies for Chronic Disease Practice, and will be delivered in five identified areas/ tracks: Design and Evaluate Programs: Chronic disease practitioners develop and implement evidence-based interventions and conduct evaluation to ensure on-going feedback and program effectiveness.
Influence Policies and Systems Change: Chronic disease practitioners implement strategies to change the health-related policies of private organizations or governmental entities capable of affecting the health of targeted populations.
Lead Strategically: Chronic disease practitioners articulate health needs and strategic vision, serve as a catalyst for change and demonstrate program accomplishments to ensure continued funding and support within their scope of practice.
Manage Programs and Resources: Chronic disease practitioners ensure the consistent administrative, financial, and staff support necessary to sustain successful implementation of planned activities and build opportunities.
Use Public Health Science: Chronic disease practitioners gather, analyze, interpret and disseminate data and research findings to define needs, identify priorities, and measure change. Detailed information about the trainings offered in each domain is supplied in the program portion of this website. You will find an abstract description of the training, as well as information about the objectives, facilitators, and length of the training. And, if you are having difficulty choosing which training to attend, you can use the NACDD Competency Assessment Tool to help you make your selection. Completing the assessment tool will allow you to identify both the domain and the level of training which will be most valuable to you.
Please register today and join us for this exciting new event – we promise to make it worth your while!
