Train-the-trainer as an educational model in public health preparedness.

Train-the-trainer (TTT) is a widely acknowledged educational model across a number of disciplines, including public health preparedness. However, many questions arise about its proper use, its efficacy, and its optimal role in preparedness education. After careful consideration of the literature and past anecdotal experiences with this educational model, TTT was selected as the preferred and sustainable method for public health preparedness in Maine.
