Description
The Community Health Worker Advanced course expands student's knowledge and skills and offers experiential learning through community or clinical tracks with a rotation at a preceptor site. This course must be taken after The Community Health Worker Core Course has been completed. The 13-week core course consists of 48 hours of a blend of live online and asynchronous training.
Community health workers are a vital component of the state and national public health and health care workforce. "Community Health Worker" is an umbrella term for a number of different job titles, including community health advocates, outreach educators, peer leaders, promotores de salud, doulas, and patient navigators. For many decades, CHWs have made significant contributions to community-based health promotion, disease prevention and maternal child health support. They have also improved the rate of health insurance coverage for underserved communities and individuals. CHWs improve access to and increase utilization of primary health care, reduce costs of care, improve quality of care, and reduce health disparities.
