Group Projects: Distance Learning
The MCH Group has developed a number of distance learning curricula that address both state and national health promotion and disease prevention needs. The curricula are intended for a variety of health professionals in multiple settings, often focused on services to at-risk populations that include cultural, racial, and ethnic minorities.
Our team focuses on (1) evidence-based curriculum development and (2) online educational systems geared to adult learning styles in a fast-pased health environment.
