Title
Board of Health Resolution #2020-10 to Enter into an Extension of an Intergovernmental Agreement with University of Wisconsin Population Health Service Fellowship Program
Body
Public Health-Madison and Dane County (PHMDC) is seeking to engage two Population Health Service Fellows to support the continued development of the public health workforce and to support the work of the department. A Population Health Service Fellow is an individual who has completed a post-graduate degree and is prepared to provide high-level service to the department while pursuing skill development within public health. This is a two-year postgraduate appointment with the University of Wisconsin. Hosting a fellow aligns with PHMDC’s educational mission and accreditation requirements to develop the future public health workforce. PHMDC has hosted a Population Health Service Fellow during the last two biennium and have found the experience to be beneficial both for the department and for the fellow.
Via CARES funding, PHMDC has budgeted $61,542 for the expenses (salary and fringe benefit) to extend the fellows' appointment with PHMDC for the purpose of assisting with essential COVID-19 response efforts.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Health for Madison and Dane County, authorizes Public Health-Madison and Dane County to enter into an agreement with The Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System on behalf of University of Wisconsin-Madison Population Health Institute, for the period of July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, to fund 2.0 Population Health Service Fellows for the purposes of COVID-19 response, and authorizes the Director to sign the agreement.
