The Public Health Training Network (PHTN) is a distance
learning network of people and resources that takes training
and information to the learner. PHTN uses a variety of instructional
media ranging from print-based to videotape and multimedia to meet the
training and information needs of the health workforce nationwide.
Since 1993, PHTN has delivered nearly 1,000,000 training and information
opportunities to health professionals in a variety of settings.
Evaluation studies demonstrate that programs delivered through PHTN,
and distance learning as a medium, are effective ways to update and
enhance professional competencies. PHTN's success has stimulated state
and federal agencies to produce training programs and to build their own
capacity to meet the training and information needs of the health workforce
through distance learning. State health departments are expanding their capacity,
supporting field operations, and developing new training and information opportunities
that address their unique needs. International partners are taking similar action and
helping PHTN move toward realization of its long-term vision of a global network that
will serve the training and learning needs of health practitioners worldwide.
