Who Should Apply?
This national program is aimed primarily at professionals in state and local health agencies who have significant responsibility for collecting, processing, analyzing, and reporting MCH data. This year, the course is geared to individuals with Intermediate to Advanced skills in statistics and epidemiologic methods, preferably in MCH or a related field.
Note: Only applicants who work domestically and regularly analyze data rather than manage programs, will be considered.
If you have basic to intermediate skills (mostly generate descriptive statistics with limited application of regression analysis), we welcome you to apply to the next year’s course, and to review the online archives course materials from the 2025 Basic to Intermediate Training Course available on the Training Course Archive.
If you are supervisor/manager, please support your team in attending the course and refer to the additional resources below.
STATE AGENCY EMPLOYEES: This application must be accompanied by a letter from your state MCH director indicating they are aware that you are applying for the training course. This letter helps to foster communication and awareness between state MCH directors, applicants, and MCHB.
