About us
The Mid-Atlantic Regional Public Health Training Center (MAR-PHTC) is a partnership among schools of public health, academic institutions, and public health agencies and organizations. It works to strengthen the capabilities of the public health workforce
to support the delivery of high quality public health services throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
MAR-PHTC engages state and local public health agencies to serve public health and health care practitioners across Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington D.C., and West Virginia. It also supports thousands of other personnel in community-based
agencies (such as behavioral health agencies, federally qualified health centers, and AIDS service organizations) that play important roles in connecting low-income, racial, and ethnic minority residents to preventive and clinical services in the
region. The University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health serves as the Central Office, collaborating with Community-based Training Partners in the development and delivery of training opportunities to the current and future public health
workforce.
Based at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Public Health, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Public Health Training Center is part of the national network of public health training centers that are funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration.
MAR-PHTC is committed to providing public health professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge to carry out the core functions of public health. We recognize inequities in adverse health outcomes facing our region and realize that centering health equity is imperative to all our initiatives Efforts to address diversity, equity, and inclusion include 1) developing and maintaining diverse and interdisciplinary partnerships; 2) training students and practitioners on community-centered and inclusive service delivery; and 3) assessing areas of improvement through routine reflection and continuous quality improvement.
