Developing: MRC TRAIN

To assist local MRC units with finding appropriate, accessible training for MRC volunteers, the Office of the Civilian Volunteer Medical Reserve Corps has partnered with the Public Health Foundation to create MRC TrainingFinder Real-Time Affiliated Integrated Network (TRAIN). MRC TRAIN is a learning management system with a centralized, searchable database of courses relevant to public health. Some key characteristics of the MRC TRAIN system include:

1. Access to hundreds of public health courses from nationally recognized course providers. These courses are offered in the form of Web-based learning, onsite learning, and satellite broadcasts.
2. Ability to browse course listings or perform a search by keyword, subject area, course provider, or competency.
3. Ability to view and print an online transcript, which is a personal course transcript maintained for every registered user.
4. Ability to query the learner records database to generate tailored reports regarding course rosters and individual learning. In this way, TRAIN is a valuable tool for managing public health workforce/volunteer development.

For more information, see the MRC TRAIN information on the MRC Web site.
