Abstract: CDC collects information to manage and improve both accredited and non-accredited educational offerings. The purpose of this request is to continue information collection through CDC’s Training and Continuing Education Online (TCEO) and CDC TRAIN systems, while navigating towards a future merger that moves to using only one data collection platform (CDC TRAIN). At this time TCEO is used to generate certificates of attendance and verify training completion, review and approve proposals for educational activities to receive continuing education accreditation, and ensure compliance with mandatory accreditation standards. CDC will use information collected in both systems to evaluate and improve courses based on learner feedback. Data will be gathered by CDC and public health partners.
