This course was instrumental in helping me to realize how standard data reporting can be overwhelming, and what I can do to make it easier and more effective for my agency.”

– PM Workshop Participant, April 2026

The Using Quality Improvement in Public Health workshop was informative, interactive, and well-presented. I learned a vast amount of new information relative to Public Health QI projects and techniques that should help me to confidently lead these projects at our county’s Public Health department. The knowledge gained at the workshop was valuable and well worth the financial investment.”

This was an excellent training! The presenter was engaging and the information was presented in a way that kept my attention and made me think about performance management in a way that was specific to public health, and I feel more prepared to review, update, and present our measures.”
