On-demand learning to advance health.

About KHI Learning

Our Mission

Turn research into action.

People working to advance health often work in complex, fast-moving environments where decisions must be made with evolving information and limited time. KHI Learning helps bridge the gap between research, policy analysis and day-to-day practice by translating evidence into practical learning.


Our courses help learners strengthen their skills, deepen their understanding of complex issues and apply evidence-informed insights to real-world challenges across local, state and community settings.

About the Kansas Health Institute

The Kansas Health Institute is an independent, nonprofit health policy research and education organization based in Topeka, Kansas.

KHI Learning is an extension of that mission, bringing evidence-based education directly to the people doing the work.

Why It Matters

Evidence informs better decisions. Better decisions improve health.

For practitioners, policy leaders and community partners, the quality of the work depends on the quality of the knowledge behind it. The distance between research and real-world action, between what's known and what gets done, is where outcomes are won or lost.

Practical skills. Credible sources. Learning that holds up in the field.
