Training
Primary Care Workforce Development
Through the Tennessee Population Health Consortium, we train both clinical and non-clinical
healthcare professionals as health coaches for primary care practices or community
organizations through our targeted programs. Training and certifications are available
in motivational interviewing and health coaching. All of these are based on best practices
proven to engage and activate patients to improve chronic condition and lifestyle
management. We chose motivational interviewing as the foundation for our programs
based on its efficacy and our track record demonstrating outcomes in Tennessee primary
care organizations. If you would like to sign up for training, please contact Amanda
Gabarda at Agabarda@uthsc.edu.
