Welcome to Communicating Effectively. This module is the second in a three-part series that is designed to help you use data to identify and address health disparities in your community.

In this module, we will look at how to communicate data to audiences in your community.

The story and activities in this module are inspired by problem-based learning (PBL). Through PBL, teams examine thoughtful, collaborative solutions to workplace problems. This module will ask you to apply these solutions to fictional scenarios that help prepare you for similar, real-world situations.

 

This learning opportunity topic is aligned with one or more of the strategic skills.  

This learning opportunity addresses training topics identified in PHWINS 2017.
