Training is a process which deals primarily with transferring or obtaining knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to carry out a specific activity. Training should be based on the assumption that there will be an immediate real life application of the physical or mental skill(s) being learned (as differentiated from education, which is most often directed toward future goals). Training will primarily target front line health care workers those who regularly interact individuals in both clinical and community settings.

Front liners have the potential to positively impact the health and well being of members of their community and would greatly benefit from an increase in public health knowledge.
