How do CHW Trainers & Instructors serve?
Community Health Worker Instructors are individuals approved to provide instruction and training in one or more core competencies for Community Health Workers.

The CHW Instructor curriculum features hands-on practice (experiential learning), group activities, demonstrations, role-playing, case studies, and simulations. In addition to review of the CHW Core Competencies, our course provides instruction over the following topics:
