The U.S. government is investing $80 million for a #digitalhealth program

The need for public #healthprofessionals has been increasing and highlighted during the #pandemic. That’s why the government has forced on recognising the role of #digitalhealth and innovation in #healthcare.

As part of the efforts to improve the #healthinfrastructure, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC)has received $80 million to implement or expand training, certification and degree in #publichealthprograms at different colleges and universities.

Its curricula will be developed by collaborating with local and state public health departments and others experts that can help deal with the most pressing challenges in public health informatics and technology.
