Medical Reserve Corps Core Competencies: The Pilot Sites Project

The Medical Reserve Corps Core Competencies Matrix is a suggested guide for training MRC volunteers at the local level. Units may choose to expand on the competencies as well as link the MRC core competencies to other existing sets of competencies for health professionals. In June, NACCHO and nine volunteer MRC unit leaders joined together to pilot test the implementation of the core competencies into training plans. The existing pilot sites either created a training plan based on the core competencies if no training plan existed or integrated the core competencies into their existing training plan. Learn how the MRC pilot sites either incorporated or based their training plans on the core competencies. Discover the benefits and challenges of utilizing the core competencies. Gather information on the training plans the Pilot Sites have created. Learn how the MRC core competencies can benefit your local health department.
