How Can the Guide to Improving and Measuring the Impact of Training Continue to Grow?
To support the ongoing training of public health professionals, the Council on Linkages Between Academia and Public Health Practice (Council on Linkages) developed an online resource focused on enhancing public health training efforts. The Guide to Improving and Measuring the Impact of Training aims to help training institutions and programs, trainers, public health organizations, and sponsors of training navigate the training process. It includes strategies and methods for improving and evaluating training, as well as references to literature on training and evaluation of training, and was designed to grow as new resources became available. Over the past few months, literature references have been updated, and the Council on Linkages is now seeking to add tools and examples to help implement the strategies and methods described in the guide. If you have tools, examples, or other relevant resources to share, please contact Janelle Nichols at jnichols@phf.org. |
Public Health 101 Series Now Available from CDC
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a longstanding member of the Council on Linkages Between Academia and Public Health Practice, has developed a new set of teaching tools and learning products, the Public Health 101 Series. This series includes slide presentations focused on the fundamentals of public health practice, covering topics such as core public health functions and services, epidemiology, health economics, public health laboratories, and public health informatics. Designed for public health educators and trainers, as well as public health professionals interested in learning more about a given topic, these Public Health 101 resources can be downloaded and customized to meet your needs. Visit Public Health 101 on the CDC website to access the resources and learn more. |
