Abstract
Despite increasing attention to academic–practice partnerships for health practice and workforce development, guidelines for how to implement such partnerships are few. The Kansas Public Health Workforce and Leadership Development (WALD) Center provides a successful example of such a partnership. The WALD Center implements public health education and training projects through a collaborative process of health needs identification, program conceptualization, research, and program evaluation. Such coordination allows for continuous practitioner-oriented program development and the sharing of a rural state's scarce resources between interconnected projects. The WALD Center's methods provide a model for academic–practice partnerships for community health practice and workforce development, even in environments with scarce health resources.
