Description

The Region V Public Health Training Center is in the process of expanding with the help of a $3.7 million HRSA grant. The award will help the center increase the supply, diversity, and capacity of the public health workforce with programs and tools. Some of these include creating student field placement stipends and professional development opportunities, creating open access online trainings for public health professionals and developing a new leadership institute for public health and primary care practitioners. The purpose of the expansion is to coordinate learning opportunities and connect practitioners in Michigan and Region V to promote public health of the areas.

Michigan Health Council does not administer all of the programs in this database. Please see the "organizations involved" above to learn who you should contact for more information.
