The National Population Health Colloquium is offering a Training Program in the form

in the Colloquium sessions.

The training program will be of interest to those working in or with government agencies,
employers, consumer groups, quality organizations, health plans, hospitals, nursing
homes, physicians and physician organizations, home health agencies, nurses and other
clinicians, and those working in health care finance.
Learning Objectives and Course Description
The content is focused on practical application and implementation of population health
management strategies, care coordination, patient engagement and activation, and
new innovations and technologies to support these efforts. The material in this training
program is purposely geared to appeal to a broad audience of individuals working in the
field; it is not confined to one particular discipline, since the successful practice of population
health requires a holistic approach and encompasses many perspectives.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Population Health Training Program a professional certification program?
It is not. The program is an attempt to offer additional information and insights associated
with the material presented during the Colloquium sessions, and to provide attendees with
evidence of mastery of the material through the issuance of a certificate of completion.
- Please describe the post meeting online examination.
The examination consists of a bank of multiple-choice questions based upon the information
made available in the preconference readings and session, and presentations within
the Colloquium agenda. Participants will be given a web link to the examination and a
unique username and password to access the examination, and may take it at any time
during the ninety (90) days following the Colloquium. The examination is timed, and
