Join your peers and national experts at the annual Public Health Improvement Training (PHIT) on June 7-9, 2021 in San Antonio, TX. PHIT 2021 features a renewed format to meet your training needs, with an additional day to bring you deep dive sessions and more opportunities for networking.

At PHIT, health department leaders and professionals participate in a series of skill-building workshops and networking opportunities designed to elevate practice to the next level. This year's theme for PHIT is: Optimizing Your Resources Through Performance Improvement. Take part in the PHIT experience to strengthen skills in order to take action in public health performance improvement topics such as:

• Resource Management (featured Strategic Skill)
• PHAB Accreditation or Reaccreditation
• Community Health Assessment or Health Improvement Planning
• Performance Management
• Quality Improvement
• Strategic Planning
• Other Strategic Skills such as systems thinking, change management, persuasive communication, data analytics, problem solving, diversity and inclusion, and policy engagement

In addition, PHIT will include a Leadership track designed for health department leadership and a session for those who are new to performance improvement.

PHIT attendees have the opportunity to select from a variety of interactive learning and skill-building sessions designed for all experience levels. At PHIT, participants gain practical tools, templates, resources, and contacts to support you to take action. Because smaller breakout sessions make for better learning, PHIT 2021 registration will be capped at 300 participants.
