Wednesday webinar to discuss CDC public-health worker training program that can help rural health departments

The Rural Health Information Hub will host a free webinar at 1 p.m. ET Wednesday, Dec. 2, to discuss the Public Health Associates Program and how it can benefit rural health departments. 

The PHAP is a two-year, paid training program through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in which public-health workers gain real-world experience working at public-health agencies and nongovernmental organizations around the country. 

Rural health departments may benefit from becoming a PHAP host site, especially since it's often difficult to find qualified health-care workers. The webinar will discuss PHAP's mission, goals and more. Interested organizations can apply to become a PHAP host site from Dec. 15 to Feb. 16.
