Education and Training Resources on Multiple Chronic Conditions (MCC) for the Healthcare Workforce

New training material to provide health care professionals with the education necessary to care for people living with multiple chronic conditions is now available online. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Education and Training Resources on Multiple Chronic Conditions (MCC) for the Healthcare Workforce were created by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health in collaboration with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
 
Three technical assistance webinars will be held to review these new Multiple Chronic Conditions Education and Training materials and address questions regarding their access and use.
