The Public Health Foundation (PHF) today launched a new online distance learning clearinghouse, TrainingFinder.org. In one central website, public health professionals of all disciplines can search the most comprehensive database of distance learning course listings. This service is free to both users and submitters. To search, browse, or submit public health distance learning course listings, visit <Retired Link> [For more current information, visit http://www.train.org/]. TrainingFinder.org has been expanded into TRAIN, an online learning management system. Visit TRAIN at www.TRAIN.org.
Users can search the TrainingFinder.org listings by subject area, target audience, credit type, keyword, or a combination of fields. Detailed listings describe the course content, format, cost, and contact information so users may contact the course sponsor directly for information, registration, or purchase.
The free site is a public-private partnership with four funding partners and 16 sponsoring organizations committed to increasing training opportunities for the public health workforce. For a list of sponsors, <Retired Link> [For more current information, visit http://www.train.org/]. Initial funding for the site was provided by the Public Health Foundation, with additional support coming from the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion and the Health Resources and Services Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, through a cooperative agreement with the Office of Minority Health.
