- To advance student health within the heartland region, implement a tele-training model that facilitates case-based learning, disseminates best practices, and evaluates outcomes associated with a menu of training options at all levels of the multi-tiered systems of support pyramid.
- To increase retention of healthcare providers and other professionals, develop, implement, and sustain a virtual community of practice for learners associated with student and whole family health across the workforce pipeline.
- Drawing on resources from the Rural Telementoring Training Center, Heartland Telehealth Resource Center, and Telehealth ROCKS evaluation teams, advance validated measures and strategic evaluation across all program activities.
