The National Association of Community Health Centers offers a wide variety of trainings that encompass all facets of health center operations. Whether you need a refresher or are just starting out in a health center, NACHC’s Trainings and Technical Assistance (T/TA) department offers trainings that will help you become more effective.
Board Education Video Series is a resource for health center board members to use at their monthly board meetings to learn about and discuss their role to assure patient-centered services and compliance with funding requirements. The Series currently has five “Modules” that each have brief video vignettes (approximately 5-6 minutes each) demonstrating scenarios of health center and board meeting operations. After viewing a vignette, the entire board can address suggested discussion questions to look at their own health center’s experience and their role as board members.
