Rachel Berthiaume is the inaugural Associate Director of Education & Engagement for CHER. In this role, she will design, supervise and evaluate engagement and education programs, consistent with the mission and strategic vision of CHER. She also serves as the Deputy Director of Continuous Education for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Clinical Scholars, a comprehensive leadership development program for healthcare providers from diverse fields across the U.S. Her career in public health began with Peace Corps service (Madagascar 2004-2006), and then continued with HIV/AIDS/STI prevention and treatment programs at health clinics in sub-Saharan Africa. She earned her Masters of Public Health in Health Behavior/Education from the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health in 2012. She previously managed health projects in Philadelphia, PA and Michigan, that examined intersections between communities and public agencies to improve maternal and child health service delivery, particularly in addressing equity and inclusion issues. Her extensive professional experience on designing and delivering high-quality programming promoting health equity and leadership, as well as personal experience working within community organizations where she gained a ground-level view of community organizing operationalization, contribute to her commitment to health equity, innovation and authentic engagement.
