Building health communication in the healthcare professional
ECTHP deploys through TRAIN (www.train.org), PHF's web-based learning management network. Key elements of online platforms, including long-term cost efficiency and prolonged shelf life, and TRAIN in particular, including its national presence and public health objectives, facilitated the course's web-based deployment. Since its launch, over 28,500 professionals have registered to take ECTHP and approximately 19,700 have completed the course.
Data indicate that learners passed HRSA's minimum requirements while course evaluations illustrate the agreement regarding the efficacy of cross-cultural communication and health literacy training. ECTHP provides professionals with opportunities to refine effective communication skills in a setting and time of their choice.
