TRAIN, the nation’s premier learning management system for professionals and volunteers who protect the public’s health, has recently made creating an account easier and quicker for public health professionals. With funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a new enhancement to TRAIN allows public health professionals to more easily join multiple learning groups, such as their state, any Medical Reserve Corps unit they are a member of, and a Community of Practice that relates to their professional capacity. By encouraging public health professionals to join multiple groups, those learners will obtain more access to trainings and resources available to particular groups.

 

 

It is expected that public health professionals will more easily be able to join and access the Communities of Practice under the CDC TRAIN portal with this enhancement. CDC’s Community of Practice Program is located within the Office for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support (OSTLTS).  The Communities of Practice include: Academia & Research, Health Educators & Learning Professionals, Lab Training, Leadership & Policy, Other, Practitioners & Clinicians, Preparedness & Emergency Response, Prevention & Promotion, Students & Future Workforce and Technology & Informatics.  This feature on TRAIN allows learners to interact with others and take specific training within their particular field of practice.
