Description
The Leadership Education in Adolescent Health (LEAH) Program funds graduate-level training programs to develop leaders in adolescent and young adult (AYA) health. The primary goal is to expand access to high-quality, interdisciplinary, team-based health care for AYAs, with a focus on prevention and management of chronic diseases.
