Course Collections

The Public Health Training Center Network (PHTCN) helps sustain a skilled public health workforce by providing access to world-class professional development, experiential learning, and consulting and technical assistance. Each of our member Public Health Training Centers offers a wide range of programs and services designed to meet the specific needs of their particular region and workforce. We have tapped into that rich workforce development resource to compile groups of courses that address current and emerging topics nationwide.

We will continue to add to our Course Collections.
