The Public Health Foundation’s (PHF) TRAIN Team is excited to announce the newest member of our affiliate community: TRAIN Maryland. Maryland is the 27th state on TRAIN and the 30th affiliate overall.

Managed by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, TRAIN Maryland will provide access to trainings to help improve competence and performance of public health workers throughout the state.

“Maryland is excited to bring the depth and breadth of the TRAIN learning community to our health department,” said Ann Walsh, Director of Performance Improvement at the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. “The TRAIN platform will allow us to better meet the needs of our employees and community partners.”

A formal announcement will be posted to PHF’s website when TRAIN Maryland’s customized affiliate site (affiliates are states, national organizations, or educational institutions who have purchased a customized TRAIN portal) is live and ready for learners to embark upon training. In the meantime, Maryland learners can create a free TRAIN account on TRAIN National’s portal and register for courses and trainings.

The addition of TRAIN Maryland indicates the growing interest that state health departments, public health training centers, educational institutions, and national organizations have with a comprehensive learning management network. Through TRAIN’s collaborative network, thousands of e-learning modules and recorded webinars, in-person trainings, and curated training plans are available to learners through a single national platform. With over 1.3 million registered learners, TRAIN has evolved into the go-to learning management network for professionals who protect and improve the public’s health.
