Strategic Skills for Public Health Practice: Resource Management and Finance

Resource Management and Finance describes the essential skills public health practitioners need to manage financial and human resources in ways that sustain successful organizations and programs and ultimately strengthen communities they serve.

Few practitioners enter public health knowing how to manage budgets or oversee personnel, yet public health successes depend on the ability to responsibly manage financial and human resources. Practitioners often step into management roles with little training for this important work; instead, they bring expertise in managing programs, designing policies or evaluating interventions. This book helps close that gap, offering digestible resources for those taking on new responsibilities or reconsidering long-held ones.

Designed for current and aspiring professionals across the public and nonprofit sectors, Resource Management and Finance is a valuable tool for those working in public health, healthcare, higher education, social services, philanthropy and beyond.
