Community Health Training Module

Working in the community and with the community can be an exciting and rewarding process and is a critical strategy to extend health beyond healthcare. We can proactively address health needs in a community setting, but community engagement presents different challenges than working in a conventional clinical setting. This module describes steps to take to develop a community health program. Programs can range from a one-time health screening event to an ongoing educational program or collaboration with community residents.  No matter the size or scope of a community health project, many of the basic steps are the same.

Population Health Small Bytes

These online modules are designed to quickly engage learners via critical thinking and personal reflection while introducing fundamentals of Population Health, Community Engagement, Team Work and Critical Thinking. A typical module begins with a warm-up exercise, engaging learners with the material via their own existing knowledge or personal experiences. Instructional content is then presented via brief text or a short video.  Learners then complete open-ended or multiple choice questions which require them to think critically about the material which has just been presented. Suggested answers are provided where necessary to offer additional content and guidance. Small Bytes are appropriate for learners at any level who are new to population health and related concepts.
