Past studies have shown that the model is successful in increasing participants¡¯ knowledge and developing individual skills. However, limited evidence suggests that the model leads to outcome-based results. This review compares the current PHLI model with traditional corporate leadership development models and determines that the PHLI model is in fact related more closely with a ¡°leader¡± development model. Additionally, it is suggested that it is not possible to measure outcome-based results because of the limitations of the current model. Finally, recommendations are made to refine the model to make it more closely aligned with a true ¡°leadership¡± development model, thus making it more effective at educating and training the current public health workforce %K education and training %K evaluation %K leadership %K public health %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2373379917721721
