Purpose

This series of informational workshops is intended to provide our Northwest regional partners, faculty, and staff an opportunity to learn about different approaches to public health competencies. The workshop sessions will provide a forum for participants to ask questions and seek advice from the experts. NWCPHP hopes that this workshop series will assist our partners in deciding what approach they want to take to competency-based training and organizational competencies, and what assistance they would like from NWCPHP in these areas.

Format

Each session of this series is a 1-hour, Web conferencing event. A 25–30 minute presentation from the guest speaker will be followed by an interactive question-and-answer session.

Intended Audience

NWCPHP and our regional partners, in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming, involved in workforce development and competency-based training.

Sessions

Each session will be recorded and the archives will be posted on this web site. You may need to download the iLinc player from our software and plug-ins page before viewing the iLinc recording.
