The Global Health eLearning Center was developed by he USAID Bureau of Global Health is a response to repeated requests from field staff for access to technical public health information because the Agency had heard from USAID Population, Health, and Nutrition officers (PHNs) and from Foreign Service Nationals (FSNs) that they want to be current on global health topics, yet find it a challenge to obtain the information because of logistical and time constraints. Non USAID users may use the site as well. You must register, but registration is simple and free of charge. The Global Health eLearning Center provides Internet-based courses that: 1. Provide useful and timely continuing education for health professionals 2. Offer state-of-the-art technical content on key public health topics 3. Serve as a practical resource for increasing public health knowledge.
