National MCH Trainee Blog: Highlighting the Communication Competency
The Center co-hosts a national MCH Trainee Blog with the MCH Catalyst Program at Albany.
This month's student blog post features Elikem Togo, who recently graduated from Drexel University, which houses the MCHB-funded MCH Public Health Catalyst program. Elikem reflects on the importance of developing MCH Communication Competency 5 through her virtual internship for the Title V MCH program with the Wisconsin Division of Public Health. Communication is the verbal, nonverbal, and written sharing of information. Elikem developed her health communication skills by collaborating with her team on their three main projects, through meetings, emails and phone calls.
Elikem reflected that, “Working from home has reminded me that establishing communication channels early on is imperative to the success of any project, and I carried this practice into my virtual classes in the fall. I look forward to applying the communication skills I learned in the internship to future virtual and in-person opportunities!”
