ABSTRACT
Few short-term training programs exist for persons with limited experience or training in public health to support public health initiatives. We describe a public health training designed by the Pennsylvania (PA) Training Center for Health Equity for the PA Community Health Organizer (CHO) program. The CHO program was created to address the immediate needs of underserved communities and promote lasting health equity during the pandemic. CHOs are professionals who promote community action and align efforts with local organizations to build sustainable public health infrastructure and apply evidence-based practices to program policy, planning, and development. The training content, delivered by Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) in 12 monthly sessions, focused upon foundational public health concepts in a novel community case study approach. The ECHO All Teach, All Learn training model was successful in providing relevant public health information to this new workforce, and the pre-/post-training evaluation demonstrated a positive increase in knowledge across all domains.
