Annotation

During this one-hour webinar, which is part of the Hot Topics series, Paula Kett and Betty Bekemeier presented an overview of research findings from the PH WINS survey. Paula, a research scientist at the University of Washington’s Center for Health Workforce Studies, and Betty, Director of the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice, discussed the implications of their study findings for the public health workforce and policy makers. The presentation examined how training, education and support may need to be tailored differently for rural practitioners, and considered policies that could help build and strengthen the workforce. xxx

• Compare and contrast the assets and training needs of rural and urban public health workers.

• Understand how COVID-19 impacted rural and urban public health workers, and evaluate how these differences may influence workforce development in both settings.
