Training: MRC Training and Core Competencies

As the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) program has developed, each MRC unit adopted a different approach to training. Some units worked closely with their sponsoring organization to create and adapt localized trainings that best enhance the supplemental role they play in their communities. Others have collaborated with local partners to share existing training resources. Each MRC unit has worked diligently to gain more with less in several areas of operation, such as training. Training programs vary among MRC units.

Some general public health training resources that MRC units may find helpful can be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Web site at: http://www.phppo.cdc.gov/PHTN/sites.asp.

MRC Training/Core Competency Work Group

Shortly after the 2005 MRC National Leadership Conference, the MRC Training/Core Competency Work Group was assembled. The purpose of the work group is to guide the MRC Program Office in developing core competencies and address training issues. The work group has been instrumental in creating MRC-specific core competencies and has assisted with launching MRC TrainingFinder Real-Time Affiliate Integrated Network (TRAIN).
