Join us every month for meaningful conversations with your peers. This is an opportunity for direct recipients of the CDC’s Public Health Infrastructure Grant (PHIG) located in Region 8 states (Denver Department of Public Health, El Paso County Public Health, or state health departments in CO, MT, ND, SD, UT, or WY) to come together for valuable discussions, sharing, learning, and networking.

Professionals interested in data modernization initiative (DMI) work or improving public health data utilization within the Denver Department of Public Health, El Paso County Public Health, or state health departments in CO, MT, ND, SD, UT, or WY are invited to participate. You do not need to attend every month.

Individuals in public health data modernization positions and anyone else keen on deepening their understanding of data modernization initiatives (DMI) within Region 8

What to Expect

A "community of practice" is a group of professionals who come together to discuss a topic or issue they all have in common. By joining this community of practice, you are saying you have something to share from your own work with strengthening U.S. public health infrastructure, workforce, and data systems —and that you have things that you want to learn, to advance your practice in this area. The PHIG Community of Practice will be facilitated, and each month's topic will be sent out to registrants in advance and feedback provided will shape the conversation for each month.

Workshop Access

Participants will receive frequent updates from PC, Berilee Moussata (berilee.moussata@cuanscutz.edu) before and after each session, including post-session feedback and any additional materials or resources. If you need additional assistance, please contact us at lms.registration.rmphtc@ucdenver.edu.
