Regional Public Health Training Centers

Meet the PHLN Network

The Public Health Learning Network (PHLN) is a national network of 10 federally-funded Regional Public Health Training Centers, 80 plus community-based partners, and one National Coordinating Center that provide high quality, relevant in-person and online training for public health professionals at all stages of their careers. From Boston to Arizona, from Louisiana to Washington State, each training center contributes expertise in developing skills-based learning opportunities for the public health workforce. Together they make up the nation’s most comprehensive source of public health training and support. The network connects public health professionals with valuable experiential learning opportunities that are informed by ongoing assessments of training needs and real-time public health issues.

The Regional Public Health Training Centers

Located at the top universities throughout the United States, the Regional Public Health Training Centers bring decades of experience in building the leadership, managerial, scientific, and technical competencies of the public health workforce. The training centers focus on evidence-based applied practice and workforce development to ensure public health professionals have access to convenient, flexible ways to meet their learning goals. On that foundation, our alliance and collective engagement help us achieve economies of scale, while ensuring our training is immediately relevant and accessible to public health professionals.
