Training
PRCs bridge academic study and practical, community application of information on health promotion and disease prevention. As a result, they are uniquely positioned as a resource for public health training.
This Web-based catalog lists training programs offered or sponsored by the centers and some of their affiliates. The courses are listed here in three broad categories, by intended audience, and courses that may appeal to multiple audiences are cross-referenced.
Public Health Advocates (including community health workers, teachers, and members of community-based organizations)
Students (including graduate and undergraduate level)
Reflecting the vast and changing field of public health, the training covers a wide range of topics. The programs vary in length—from a few hours to several days to weekly sessions. The program formats differ as well; some are Web-based while others are conducted in person, often emphasizing small-group activities. To determine the schedule or possible fee associated with a course, contact the person or visit the Web site listed in the course description.
