The results are in and TRAIN's newly named Super Providers are leading the way in training learners with courses tagged with the Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals (Core Competencies).
Super Providers were chosen from among national course providers using TRAIN, the nation's premier learning management network for professionals and volunteers who protect the public’s health, who trained the most learners in a course tagged with the Core Competencies from February 1 – August 1, 2014. Used in workforce development activities across the country, the Core Competencies describe foundational skills appropriate for public health professionals regardless of discipline. Public health departments assign competency-based training to meet Public Health Accreditation Board Measure 8.2.1 A, which requires a health department to use competencies. By assigning one or more Core Competencies to courses, course providers can assist learners in identifying training to help fulfill their educational and professional development needs.
The top five course providers that trained the most learners and received a customized TRAIN “Super Provider” award are:
- Health Resources and Services Administration – Effective Communication Tools for Healthcare Professionals 100 (No Continuing Education Units Offered) [Course ID 1010508] – 1,748 learners trained
