The public health community includes all organizations and individuals who work to improve public health: private and public, technical and non-technical, internal and external to CDC. If you are a member, the CDC Learning Connection (CDC LC) can help you increase your public health knowledge and skills and help meet your professional development needs.

The CDC LC provides an online gateway to quality training for the public health community through a single point of entry. The Internet site features quality e-learning, a monthly spotlight on timely public health topics, and its newest addition, CDC TRAIN, a public health learning management system (LMS).
