Public health training centers

HRSA lists a number of Public Health Training Centers   http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/publichealth/phtc.htm   some of which are listed below and some offer free classes.


PublicHealthLearning.com,   http://publichealthlearning.com/Public/default.aspx    a collaboration between the Mid-America Public Health Training Center (MAPHTC) and the Illinois Public Health Preparedness Center (IPHPC). Has these classes: Data Analysis and Causal Inference, Epidemiological Methods, GIS, Regression, Evaluating Public Health Programs.


Northwest Center for Public Health Practice   http://www.nwcphp.org/training   has a class on data analysis, program evaluation and environmental health, and logic models.

South Central Public Health Partnership   http://www.southcentralpartnership.org/   has one on line class on needs assessment and evaluation.



Others
Many of these appear to be just on line lectures or presenations, just to view.


Areol, action research and evaluation   http://www.scu.edu.au/schools/gcm/ar/areol/areolhome.html   This on line class is a 14-week public course offered each semester as a public service by Southern Cross University  and the Southern Cross Institute of Action Research


Evaluation: A Tool for Program Improvement   http://www.jrsa.org/pubs/juv-justice/tutorial/tutorial.html   From the Justice Research and Statistics Association's (JRSA). You can get a certificate after completing the tutorial.


The Global Health Learning Center   http://www.globalhealthlearning.org/login.cfm   also has one class on monitoring and evaluation, prepared by some folks at Measure. This site is partly from USAID

Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's OPENCOURSEWARE   http://ocw.jhsph.edu/Topics.cfm   has a couple of classes about program evaluation. But these are basically pdf files of the lectures used in classes.


MEASURE   http://www.cpc.unc.edu/measure/training/mentor   "Evaluation makes available free training materials and tools on M&E topics for use by researchers, program managers, trainers, policy makers, students, and other public health professionals."


Monitoring and Evaluation of Projects (M&E) course   http://www.iadb.org/int/rtc/ecourses/monitoringevaluation.htm   from the Inter-American Development Bank. You can get a certificate at the end.

TRAIN   https://www.train.org/DesktopShell.aspx    A free service of the  Public Health Foundation. This site lists classes offered elsewhere. You can find classes on stats, epi, evaluation and related. They generally list classes from UNC and other public health training centers. I'm not exactly clear on whether anyone can take these classes.


Self study evaluation modules   http://www.uwex.edu/impacts/evaluation-modules/   so far as I can tell, mainly slides of information, but probably good for beginners.


Unicef    http://www.ceecis.org/remf/Service3/unicef_eng/index.html   monitoring and evaluation training module, in English, and   http://www.ceecis.org/remf/Service3/unicef_rus/index.html  in Russian.


http://alison.com/   "ALISON enables anyone, anywhere, to educate themselves via interactive multimedia for FREE."  Alison.com is the provider of classes. Trainers and organizations pay a small fee to provide classes for their people, but people can take classes for free.  Currently no evaluation classes, but perhaps sometime.....


Mediasite   http://www.mediasite.com/Default.aspx   kind of on line lectures, videos of professors lectures.  Search for the term "program evaluation" (using the quotes).
