Finding online training is easy. Finding the right training can be tough. While multiple funders and organizations support online training, these systems and services are not yet fully coordinated. To ensure the nation’s 500,000 public health professionals can respond rapidly to critical and ever-evolving needs, the National Coordinating Center for Public Health Training (NCCPHT) at the National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI) has partnered with 10 Regional Public Health Training Centers (RPHTCs) and 40 local performance sites (LPS). The partnership represents a unified, national network of public health training and educational resources—the Public Health Learning Network (PHLN).

This Web Forum will share how the PHLN is building and sustaining a national system for outstanding public health training. It will also feature the Midwestern Public Health Training Center sharing its approach to engaging adult learners, as well as an overview of its recent workforce development activities.

Our panelists will:

  • Describe the evolution and future of the public health training delivery system
  • Profile an exemplary public health training course as an example of what the PHLN can do for learners
  • Explore how training centers are working with organizations to bring the best training and resources together for the public health professional
You’ll hear their lessons learned and have the opportunity to ask questions.Did you miss the launch of Elevate?
The inaugural issue of the PHLN’s new quarterly publication features stories about Zika virus, climate change, violence and injury prevention, and more.
