Abstract

Collaboration among schools of public health and national, state, and local health agencies has resulted in creation of comprehensive public health workforce education and training initiatives that offer integrated, sequential, and accessible professional development programs, including a nation-wide network of public health leadership institutes. A conceptual model for leadership development is presented. It contains seven elements considered critical for design of leadership programs in public health: capacity/competence needs; program target; area served; program content; training level; learning approach; and implementation methods. This model can be used to design leadership as well as public health workforce education and training programs.
