CDC Learning Connection helps public health and healthcare professionals stay informed about quality trainings created or funded by CDC and other federal government agencies. We carefully search for high quality trainings that address priority public health topics. Each month, we promote featured trainings via a newsletter, social media, and partner outreach. This service makes it easier for public health and healthcare professionals to continue to increase their knowledge and skills through the curation of relevant trainings.

How We Select Featured Trainings

All featured trainings are created or funded by CDC or another federal government agency, publicly available, and designed for public health and healthcare professionals. Many offer continuing education (CE). We use the CDC Quality Training Standards to review trainings for promotion.

Featured trainings must:

  • Meet the definition of a training.
  • Use clear and measurable learning objectives that match training content.
  • Contain accurate and relevant content.
  • Include opportunities for learner engagement.
  • Have a user-friendly interface and navigation.
  • Include an opportunity for learner assessment that provides feedback to the learner.
  • Provide follow-up support for the learner.
  • Have no major technical issues.

We are more likely to promote trainings that:

  • Offer continuing education (CE).
  • Address a CDC priority area, align with a health observance, CDC-activated emergency response, or public health concern.
  • Meet a national need for training (like an area of training need from the Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey [PH WINS]).
  • Have the Quality Training Standards icon in TRAIN.
  • Are featured on the Public Health Learning Navigator, another source for quality, curated, learning opportunities.
