Training & Outreach Manager
Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, Oregon, United States, 97204
About the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health BoardThe Northwest Tribes have long recognized the need to exercise control over the design and development of health care delivery systems in their local communities. To this end, they formed the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (also referred to as NPAIHB or “the Board”) in 1972.
Guided by a vision of “Health and Wellness for the Seventh Generation,” NPAIHB is a 501(c)3 designated (non-profit) organization and Tribal organization, P.L. 93-638, under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA) serving the 43 federally recognized Tribes in the states of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (Northwest Tribes). Tribes become voting members of the Board through resolutions passed by their governing body. Each member Tribe designates a delegate to serve on the NPAIHB Board of Directors.
Led by our Board of Directors, NPAIHB’s mission is to “eliminate health disparities and improve the quality of life of American Indians and Alaska Natives by supporting Northwest Tribes in their delivery of culturally appropriate, high-quality health programs and services.” We have a staff of over 120 professionals dedicated to advancing Tribal health for the 7th generation in the Pacific Northwest.
Position SummaryThe Training and Outreach Manager is responsible for developing and coordinating the design and implementation of public health worker development and training for NPAIHB member tribes, and public health training for the NPAIHB. Duties include developing the public health workforce’s online training, including a digital library and training platform. In alignment with an analysis of tribal needs, the Training and Outreach Manager works with staff experts to develop curriculums and training materials, coordinates in-person trainings, develops online trainings, selects and supervises outside trainings and vendors, and implements feedback collection tools in collaboration with state, local, and tribal public health or community-based partners within the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.
The objectives of the Training and Outreach Manager are to be completed in two distinct phases. In the first phase, to be completed by the end of the first year of employment, systems for both virtual and in-person trainings will be set up. During the second phase, which is ongoing, technical assistance and accreditation of trainings will be provided.
The Training and Outreach Manager reports to the NW Tribal EpiCenter Director. This scope of work is housed within the NW Tribal EpiCenter Division.
