Enhance, manage, and promote the medical reserve corps training and learning management system via the train learning network - train (WWW.train.ORG) is a national learning network for government agencies to disseminate, track, and share trainings for professionals who protect and improve the public's health. Developed and operated by the public health foundation (PHF), the network currently includes 40 affiliates: state agencies, not-for-profit organizations, tribal health departments, and federal agencies-the medical reserve corps, centers for disease control and prevention, veterans health administration, ICE health service corps, food and drug administration, and veterans benefits administration. Since joining train in 2006, the more than 138,526 MRC volunteers who are registered MRC-train learners have completed more than 247,859 trainings. Additionally, MRC's participation in this larger network has helped the agency coordinate with state, territorial, local and tribal health departments (stlt HDS) to meet public health needs and integrate trainings to build capacity. PHF proposes to continue supporting and expanding MRC-train through the following goals: (1) goal 1: provide access to quality training aligned to critical competences; (2) goal 2: increase course provider outreach; and (3) goal 3: integrate MRC-train. Proposed activities include providing annual train subscriptions services and technical assistance, including building relationships between MRC and stlt HDS; promoting MRC-train to MRC volunteers to increase awareness and use; and conducting outreach to existing and potential train course providers to increase the number of competency-based trainings available.
