Abstract:
University Affiliated Facilities (UAFs) were established to promote improved care for mentally retarded and handicapped children and their families. Specifically, they are charged with the interdisciplinary training of professionals who provide leadership within their respective disciplines and, thus, impact a greater service delivery system. A definition of leadership training and two potential models for implementation within the UAF system are developed. Data available for FY 1983-1984 indicate the UAFs funded by the Division of Maternal and Child Health (DMCH) trained 3,450 graduate or post-graduate students. Preliminary estimates indicate that approximately 25% of long-term UAF trainees eventually fill positions of leadership within the service delivery system. More systematic assessment of the impact of UAF training is suggested.
