The Region IV Public Health Training Center (PHTC), the Injury Prevention Research Center at Emory (IPRCE), and Safe States Alliance is offering a Project ECHO training series on health equity evaluation. Over the course of seven sessions, participants will learn from and collaborate with experts and peers to share knowledge, tools, experiences, strategies, and promising practices as they integrate health equity principles into evaluations and create processes to measure the impact of their programs on health equity.

The seven-part training series will begin on January 17, 2024, and conclude on February 28 (see attached flyer). This training is provided free of charge. CHES and CPH credits will be offered for the training series.
