Abstract
Educating the Public Health Workforce
Highlights
Public Health Education and Promotion is a single section with two distinct components, bridged by the shared themes of [1] education of lay and professionals for effective public health practice, and [2] a need for a new vision to shape future changes
Article topics cover a wide range of subjects, including education targeted at undergraduate, master’s level, doctoral, and workforce audiences; international and global health; interprofessional education, with public health as itself an integrating discipline; competencies, curricula, evaluation, and innovative teaching techniques; cross-cultural competencies; and intersection of the public health workforce with the healthcare delivery workforce
The World Health Organization definition of basic public health functions might be used as core competencies – but the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a different definition of public health “essentials,” and other nations, too, define public health education outcomes related to their own needs [11]
Summary
Public Health Education and Promotion is a single section with two distinct components, bridged by the shared themes of [1] education of lay and professionals for effective public health practice, and [2] a need for a new vision to shape future changes. The Promotion component will entertain articles pertaining to education about public health and new paradigms to promote public health at individual and community levels.
