Training
The Center for Rural Health and Social Service Development provides expertise and services in the areas of planning, implementing, and evaluating trainings. CRHSSD assists partners in proper planning, implementation, and evaluation of professional trainings. Trainings have been offered to assist professionals in meetings continuing education as required by certifying and licensing entities and to improve community awareness of health issues as well as strategies to address these issues. Trainings are primarily offered in the areas of clinical and community health. Services are offered to address important issues within communities and/or on fee for service (fee plus fixed costs) basis. Recently, CRHSSD has successfully planned, implemented, and evaluated trainings in the areas of mental health, obesity, and children’s health. Teachers, mental health professionals, physicians, nurses, and other community or clinical providers have attended these trainings. Appropriate professional credits were offered to pertinent participants of these sessions. Through its social networks and internal expertise, the CRHSSD strategically, efficiently, and effectively plans, implements, and evaluates trainings.
