MCH-Link
Through an innovative scholarship program, we offer graduate-level maternal and child health (MCH) courses that address the current educational and training needs of practicing MCH professionals working in hard-to-reach areas of the Rocky Mountain region. This program provides intensive public health education and skills development at a distance, allowing you to maintain your work and family responsibilities.
Our one-credit courses are offered free of charge to a limited number of eligible MCH workers in rural, frontier, or tribal underserved areas in the Rocky Mountain region, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Most courses are offered online.
