The Director will strategically partner with the other Center core area directors to expand collaboration across the core areas, as well as to expand the reach of the Center.

The Center delivers training and educational services related to the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect both externally to interested populations (such as child welfare, court and legal systems, NGOs, school districts, healthcare and community providers) and internally at the University (for example, healthcare providers, fellows, residents, medical students, and others). Program design and development for groups and individuals that assesses the effects of professional developmental needs, and monitors consistency with core competencies and goals, is necessary.

The Director will work collaboratively with the Director of EDIJ to promote an environment of professional development and learning in the area of equity, diversity, inclusion, and justice. This role serves as a proactive thought-leader and collaborator to identify opportunities for best and promising educational practices.
