Responsibility V: Administer and manage health education
I have become competent in the fifth responsibility, through the completion of various mock exercises, detailed group projects, program budgeting for grant funding, as well as funding for sexuality education and STI prevention. I have also completed extensive training regarding ethical behavior and leadership, including CITI training.
All community health programs and interventions require the support or at least cooperation of community members and stakeholders. One example of gaining this support was by building relationships with the housing director during our campus STI prevention program, she actually ended up promoting for us in the residence hall without being asked, as well as asked for copies of our lesson plan and presentation, to implement the program with future residents in her hall.
I have completed several program plans that required creating priority lists, group brainstorming, and task delegating. For example, in my three person grant writing team, there were several instances where I took charge and broke the steps of the RFP down, giving each person tasks and timelines to complete them. Knowing my team members well allowed me to delegate numbers to the mathematically inclined team member, because of my experience with, and love for writing, I took on much of the narrative sections, and the other member, who was very organized and technology savvy, took on compiling the sections that were finished and creating the presentation documents. Many of the team projects that I was a part of also included performance evaluations, of myself and others.
It is important to have effective and respectful communication skills. Through countless projects that required group work, often with new groups, personality differences, and scheduling conflicts, I feel that my communication and problem solving skills have consistently increased with experience.
