State Chronic Disease Directors are invited to identify teams of chronic disease prevention/ health promotion practitioners to attend. The sample enrollment form (link) provides more detail. For additional information about the course and upcoming opportunities, please contact Linda Dix at ldix@wustl.edu.
Beginning in 2021, the course is also offered in a 10-week online format (link) with 2-hour sessions held once per week. This option is typically offered in the fall. The sample enrollment form (link) provides more detail. For more information about the online course, contact Carol Brownson at cbrownson2@gmail.com.
State-based EBPH courses are held once per year in selected states. These are train-the-trainer courses intended to both train chronic disease prevention/ health promotion practitioners and help states build the infrastructure for ongoing training of their workforce. Following the training, states are expected to replicate the course in their state within a year. The sample application form provides additional detail.
