Council on Linkages between Academia and Public Health Practice unanimously adopted a new set of Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals.

These competencies can be used by you and your organization to help guide public health workforce development efforts that are vital for achieving high-performing public health organizations to protect and promote the public’s health.

Competencies to Curriculum Toolkit - This guide can help describe and integrate core and discipline-specific competencies into health professions and continuing education training programs.

Competency Assessment Tool - This framework connects health administration competencies to example work experiences

Guidelines for Assigning Competencies and Skill Levels to Courses - The TRAIN Course Provider Reference Guide has information that can assist course providers with assigning Core Competencies and Bioterrorism and Emergency Readiness competencies to courses, as well as attributing a skill level of aware, knowledgeable, or advanced to training programs.

Management Self Assessment - A state health department developed this tool to assess the skills and competencies of its managers.

Framework for Online Training - This framework can be used to develop online competency-based training initiatives that emphasize cross cutting public health skills. This appendix to the framework for online training can be used to select course modules that are designed to improve the skills of learners in specific competency areas.

List of Competencies Sets - This table lists competencies sets for public health-related occupations and professions. It was developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Office of Workforce and Career Development.

Development of Discipline-Specific Competencies - The preface to the Draft Applied Epidemiology Tier 2 Competencies describes how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists developed a set of discipline-specific competencies, in part by building on the eight Core Competencies domains. This draft questionnaire is a useful model of how to solicit feedback from the field about the relevance of proposed competencies.
