Description:

Community Health Workers (CHWs) play an important role in connecting their communities with healthcare and services. This session will provide information about how Community Health Workers can link their community with quality health information using resources from the National Library of Medicine. In addition to appropriate information tools for CHWs, the audience will learn about projects that have put NLM resources to use in CHW training and community education. Guest speaker, Elizabeth Schaffer, MPH, MS, CHES will join to discuss how she integrated MedlinePlus into a 100-hour CHW training program.

This will be an adaptation of a conference presentation that CHW Section member, Erin Seger recently gave at the Unity CHW national conference. The class is taught online and is available to anyone nationwide and is free. Account registration is required.
