Public Health Workforce: Public Health 101

Public Health 101, formerly known as Public Health Employee Orientation, began in January 2024. Public Health 101 covers the following topics:

• Introduction to Working in Public Health
• Public Health System in Wisconsin
• Health Equity
• Performance Excellence
• Self-Care and Workplace Well-Being.

This foundational public health orientation includes virtual trainings available on an on-demand basis through TRAIN, as well as live workshops offered quarterly.

• Connecting participants with the mission of public health in Wisconsin.
• Learning how to apply public health theory and frameworks.
• Fostering connection and collaboration between state, local, and Tribal public health.
• Focusing on health equity and/or self-care/workplace wellbeing.
