Addressing Social Determinants of Health

Description

Ideal for: Public Health Professionals, Social Workers

Work for this course will be completed in teams of 2 or 3 people.

In order for a team application to be reviewed and considered for this training, participants must have at least 1-2 other partners (up to groups no larger than 3 people) from within their department or organization to form a team. Once all partner(s) have been identified, as a TEAM you will submit ONE application. Do not submit an application for each team member. The responses to this application should reflect thoughts and experiences of your team.

Once an application has been submitted for your team, you will not be able to go back and view it. You may make changes to an application that is in progress anytime before you submit it. 

If you do not have a team, please still submit an application as we may be able to assist you in finding one. Please note however, if we cannot pair you with a team we will not be able to admit you into the course and encourage that you re-apply for consideration at a future opportunity.

Cost

No cost for registrants from our region (Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming), $160 for registrants from all other states, no cost for registering for the waitlist - payment arrangement will be made by staff if spot becomes available.

What to Expect

We use a flipped-classroom approach, so you’ll work through course content independently and then connect with a small cohort of peers weekly for live learning sessions that provide an opportunity to ask questions, share your knowledge, and learn from others.

7 Live Learning Sessions:

Successful completion of this course requires your participation in these sessions by video using a webcam or built-in camera on your device. Contact us if you need assistance accessing a webcam.

WEEKLY ONLINE LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Each week, you must complete assigned online learning activities that include reading and watching videos. There will also be a short assignment in preparation for each live learning session that should take about an hour to complete.
