Objective: Illustrate the training experience in Health Human Resources (HHR) in PHC and IHSDNs for Colombia through the Virtual Campus of Public Health (VCPH) of the PAHO during 2013 to 2015. Methodology: an assessment of academic processes of 2 cohorts was conducted during 2013 and 2015 through VCPH, and by a team of five universities. The experience is divided into two stages according to the processes of formation: 1. Strengthening teaching equipment, 2. Training of HHR for the country. Results: In total, 123 health professionals were trained in the two processes (2013-2015). The first stage (2013-2014) was mainly linked to training teachers of different universities, process with a better performance on public health teachers. For the second stage (2014-2015) the course was offered for the entire country, improving the academic processes in relation to the above process, and ending the process with 55 proposals to improve PHC and IHSDNs for the contexts of each participant. Conclusions: The educational process of the course and work in the VCPH are constituted as an opportunity to advance new processes which effectively contribute to the formation of HHR in PCH and IHSDNs in a country where the subject is relevant and necessary.
