"Hepatitis C: What Clinicians and Other Professionals Need to Know "is an interactive web-based training program. This program provides users with up-to-date information on the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of HCV infection and HCV-related chronic disease. Users can also test their knowledge of the material through study questions at the end of each section and case studies at the end of the program. By combining up-to-date clinical and epidemiological information with state of the art technology and graphics designed to enhance both the user’s understanding of the material and the appearance of the program, this web-based training program provides a valuable educational tool to assist health professionals in preventing and managing HCV infection and HCV-related chronic disease. Continuing medical and nursing education credits are available free of charge from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention upon completion of the training. The American Academy of Family Physicians will also grant their educational credits upon completion of training and filing with the Academy.

The Southeast Public Health Training Center, part of the North Carolina Institute for Public Health, based at the School of Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has created http://www.asksphere.com , a new centralized clearinghouse, now on the Internet, for training opportunities for public health practitioners.
What is Asksphere? A searchable database of training resources and materials, Asksphere includes a directory of face-to-face courses, video conferences, satellite downlinks and web courses, aimed at health care professionals and those who train them. Resources for trainers will also include multimedia and publicly accessible curricula and manuals that can be modified for use by others. Training units can submit courses and resources that they would like to market through this vehicle.
“This project began with us putting together an inventory of best practices in public health training, particularly in the states we primarily serve, the Carolinas, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee," said Training Center Director, Janet Place.
"We weren't out to reinvent the wheel," Place added, "but to showcase what's already out there. The goal was to share the information with all those interested in various topics or skills to improve public health practice."
Core Competencies A successful approach to public health workforce development in this case matches what those in the field of public health call core competencies: analytic/assessment skills, basic public health science skills, cultural competency skills, communication skills, understanding community dimensions, financial planning and management skills, leadership and systems-thinking skills, policy development/program planning skills, and technology and informatics. Asksphere posts programs and resources that apply to these core competencies.
Asksphere Partners The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-funded virtual training center will continue to expand, as new courses are developed, new materials published, and new conferences scheduled. The UNC School of Public Health training center partners include West Virginia University, the University of Tennessee, the Kentucky School of Public Health, the University of South Carolina School of Public Health, the Eastern Virginia Medical School, and the state health departments of the six southeastern states.
