2023 Call for Participants

clinic

Request for Applications: Mobile Health Technical Assistance: A Coaching Program

Mobile Healthcare Association is launching Mobile Health Technical Assistance: A Coaching Program. This grant-funded program will bring together mobile healthcare experts and new mobile programs for a six-month learning cohort between January and June 2024.

In response to the growing need for technical support from our members, this pilot program will combine group coaching and peer accountability to help newer mobile healthcare programs achieve their goals and foster a collaborative environment where members can learn from each other’s experiences, insights, and diverse perspectives.

Up to 36 member programs will be selected to participate. At no cost to participants, they will be placed into tracks and cohorts based on their preferences, challenges, organizational type, stage of development, and job role. The program will be organized around two tracks identified as priority needs by Mobile Healthcare Association members (2023 Member Survey).

Participants will be assigned to one of these tracks:

Community Outreach and Engagement

Program Operations and Logistics

 


 

Mobile healthcare programs meeting the following criteria are eligible to apply*:

Must be a Mobile Healthcare Association member prior to applying.

Must have launched their first mobile healthcare program in 2018 or later.

Must have had at least one staff person who participated in either the Spring or Fall Intensive Training Course (ITC) in 2023. Priority will be given to those who attended the Pre-Conference Intensive Training Course (Fall) in Pittsburgh.

Must have one staff person who can serve as a primary contact and participate in all program activities (does not have to be the same as the ITC participant)

The primary contact may bring up to one additional team member to each coaching session. The additional team member does not have to be the same person for all coaching sessions. It may be a different team member each time based on the topic area or issue being addressed.

*If you are interested in applying but do not meet all criteria, please contact Kim Lieberman at klieberman@mobilehca.org at your earliest convenience.
