Training opportunities are available free of charge from the CT Department of Public Health TrainingFinder Real-Time Affiliate Integrated Network (TRAIN).

TRAIN is a web-based learning management system that is an education resource for public health emergency response, accessing a nationwide training system. Getting a learner account gives you free access to available materials and references as well as training specifically for clinic volunteers.

The State of Connecticut Department of Public Health requires that all clinic staff on the Public Health Emergency Response Team are registered on TRAIN and have learner accounts. There are existing courses on the Strategic National Stockpile, National Incident Management Systems (NIMS), and specific on-line training for medical professionals. In the future, training for clinic volunteers will be available. Periodically there are courses for Train- the-Trainer for smallpox vaccination.

If you have any questions regarding training, please contact the Farmington Valley Health District with the address and phone numbers listed below.
