Description
The Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment (AHW) provides support for Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) faculty to host learning events for Wisconsin’s current and future health workforce. The program emphasizes engaging professionals employed or being trained by MCW and its affiliates, alongside appropriate participants from other institutions. Events should address a defined learning gap and help participants apply what they learn to improve health and health equity in Wisconsin.
The opportunity aligns with AHW’s Education and Workforce Development pathway. Priorities include developing a workforce responsive to Wisconsin’s evolving needs, supporting recruitment, retention, and continuous learning, and strengthening health workers’ purpose, resilience, and fulfillment across disciplines. Support is available for one-time events or a defined series incorporating in-person learning in Wisconsin.
