About CDC Learning Connection

Overview

CDC Learning Connection (CDC LC) is a one-stop learning resource that can help increase public health knowledge and skills and meet professional development needs.

CDC LC was created to increase access to quality public health learning.

Features include…

Quality e-learning
A monthly spotlight on public health topics
CDC TRAIN, a dynamic public health learning management system (LMS)
Quick-Learn lessons for mobile learning on the go

These features form a learning system that provides free access to products developed by CDC, CDC partners, and other organizations recognized for developing public health education and training resources. Although the CDC LC is intended for the public health community, it can be accessed by healthcare professionals and the general public.

Background expanded

The CDC LC website was established in November 2010 to provide a central location for e-learning, training information, and other public health learning resources. In 2011, the Institute of Medicine, the public health community, and others called for improvements to better prepare the public health workforce. In answer to this call, CDC began to expand electronic learning (e-learning) as a priority within its mission to support state, tribal, local, and territorial public health workforce development.

To accomplish its mission, CDC partnered with the Public Health Foundation to launch CDC TRAIN on CDC LC. With CDC TRAIN, learning providers can coordinate the distribution of their learning products, and learners can access a comprehensive list of training products, all in one place. CDC LC provides a hub for public health learners and continues to evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of the public health community.
