The University of the District of Columbia (UDC) and Howard University — both located in Washington, DC — have formed a partnership to produce more homegrown healthcare workers by creating a new program called PHIT4DC.
According to an article, the program allows “almost anyone, from high schoolers to working healthcare professionals, to enroll in public health informatics and technology courses” and is geared towards students from “Wards 7 and 8, who will focus their training on patients and residents in that area.”
