Training overview

The Center TRT training activities focus on state leadership and community practitioners working with the 15 WISEWOMAN programs and the state leadership for the 28 Obesity Prevention programs. Center TRT training addresses the priority competency areas that were identified through training needs assessments conducted in 2004 and 2006. In-person courses and web-based trainings are used to promote evidence-based public health practice.

The Center TRT currently offers a weeklong Obesity Prevention in Public Health Training Course funded by the CDC Nutrition and Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases and an annual in-person training for staff of the WISEWOMAN™ Program.
