The dramatic changes in the field of public health are reverberating in schools of public health in a number of ways, not the least of which is action by the deans of the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) to ensure that graduates with master's of public health degrees are competent to meet the current challenges of practice. The conceptual framework at the center of this activity describes 3 domains--skills, perspectives, and applications--in which alumni of schools of public health may be required to demonstrate competency. ASPH work in this area is grounded in previous national and professional competency definitions and school- and department-specific competency development; it is distinct from earlier work, however, because its focus is on competency at the master's level across the graduate schools of public health.
公共卫生领域的巨大变革正以多种方式在公共卫生学院产生反响,其中一个重要方面是公共卫生学院协会(ASPH)的院长们采取行动,以确保拥有公共卫生硕士学位的毕业生有能力应对当前的实践挑战。这项活动核心的概念框架描述了三个领域——技能、视角和应用——公共卫生学院的校友可能需要在这些领域展示能力。ASPH在这一领域的工作基于先前的国家和专业能力定义以及学校和部门特定的能力发展;然而,它与早期工作不同,因为其重点是公共卫生研究生院校硕士层面的能力。
