One instructor with clinical and/or public health experience will co-teach with an instructor with community health work experience. Each instructor will co-teach at least one semester-long community health worker training course over the next three years. The purpose of the course is to train community health workers throughout Idaho as part of Idaho State University's Community Health Worker Training grant with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Compensation ranges from $30-40 per hour. Please contact chw@isu.edu or 208-373-1764 for more information.
