| It is estimated many public health professionals lack formal education in public health. The HRSA-funded Public Health Training Centers (PHTC) train a broad audience of health professionals, including nurses, physicians, dentists, veterinarians, health educators, health administrators, sanitarians, community health workers, policymakers and more in the core public health competencies to strengthen skills of public health workers.
The National PHTC Network's Distance Education Center offers an online searchable resource database for PHTC-developed trainings and train-the-trainer tools that are distance-accessible on a 24/7 basis in various formats (click here
to see the list of distance-accessible media in the database).
