Published in 1991, the "Public Health Faculty/Agency Forum" report continues to be used by public health professionals, government agencies, and academic institutions in their work to strengthen the public health workforce. The book sets forth "universal competencies" relevant to the educational and training needs of public health students, faculty, and practicing professionals. In addition, recommendations are made for improving the relevance of public health education to its practice at the local, state, and federal level.
This landmark report, cited in numerous articles, books, and policy documents addressing public health workforce needs, has served as the basis for competency development by schools of public health, graduate programs in public health, and state, regional and federal public health training programs.
This publication contains 129 pages.
