The Federal Office of Rural Health Policy in the Health Resources and Services Administration is pleased to share a new training opportunity to support informed decision-making in rural health: Introduction to Rural Public Health, a free, web-based course developed by the NORC Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis, in collaboration with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Office of Rural Health and East Tennessee State University.
This training provides a foundational overview of public health practice in rural communities, highlighting rural demographics, delivery systems, and community strengths. It is a valuable resource for agency staff, policymakers, and program leaders seeking to gain a deeper understanding of rural public health and work more effectively with rural communities.
