We had a great time welcoming attendees to @utaustin.bsky.social‬ for the 11th annual Health Communication Leadership Institute (HCLI) event with a networking reception in our @texasmoody.bsky.social‬ offices last night! #UTHCLI

No one can or should do it alone. #UTHCLI keynote speaker Dr. Lakey, The University of Texas System Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs & Chief Medical Officer, reminded us about the importance of public health experts working with groups like schools, faith leaders, and local doctors to build trust.

On the final day of #UTHCLI, attendees get a chance to apply the skills they've been honing together and activate their new network. Teams develop and present case studies on a current health topic, and this year it was about interventions to help college-aged students manage Sickle Cell Disease.

#UTHCLI got a behind-the-scenes look at real campaigns from fellow #healthcomm practitioners. Thank you for graciously sharing your best practices and lessons learned! Learn more about our annual event: healthcomm.utexas.edu/education/hcli

We heard from some superstar teachers and experts from @utaustin.bsky.social‬ and @txst.edu. They gave #UTHCLI attendees practical, step-by-step plans to hone soft skills such as:
👉 Community Engagement
👉 Finding Meaning in Work
👉 Leading Without Authority
👉 Fostering Creativity

#UTHCLI helps us learn more about health comm professionals' training needs. Attendees helped us pilot exercises for two upcoming free online courses on Using AI in Health Communication & Finding Meaning in Work. Browse our current HCTS courses: uthealthcomm.org/education/hcts

One of our #UTHCLI sponsors @tephi-tx.bsky.social‬ discussed their statewide wastewater epidemiology network poised to revolutionize how we detect and respond to public health threats. Learn more about TexWEB: tephi.texas.gov/early-detect...
