New and Noteworthy
The National MCH Workforce Development Center and the MCH Navigator have teamed up to share an ongoing microlearning program, MCHwork, to actively engage busy professionals in the field on thematic topics over the course of five years. This ongoing program draws upon the evidence-based theory of spaced microlearning to ensure that learning happens in small bursts at regular intervals to maximize the learning process.
MCHwork addresses knowledge and skills related to some of the most pressing issues of our time, starting with improving health outcomes in year one and moving onto community partnerships, evaluation and assessment, aligning plans and strategy building, and communication in subsequent years.

The Center offers state and territorial Title V leaders and their partners training, collaborative learning, coaching and consultation in implementing health transformation using a variety of learning platforms.
Founded in 2014, the National Maternal and Child Health Workforce Development Center helps state and jurisdictional Title V leaders and their partners tackle complex challenges through training, collaborative learning, coaching, and consultation.
We help states advance health transformation. Transformed health systems improve health and well-being along the life course by:
- Ensuring that health opportunities exist for all.
- Focusing upstream on prevention and community factors that influence health.
- Building meaningful, cross-sector partnerships.
- Increasing access to effective, respectful, and affordable care and supports.
- Strengthening the capacity of the workforce to lead transformational change.
The Center is funded by a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau and housed in the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.
