The future of the constantly changing public health profession is tied to the development of practice skills through competency-based training. In this article, we describe a program change in the Master of Public Health program at East Stroudsburg University in northeastern Pennsylvania. The first goal of the program transition was to ensure that all program elements included the relevant vision, values, mission, goals, and objectives. The second goal was to use continuous data input and evaluation to incorporate opportunities for flexible assessments. The change process helped the university faculty define the program's vision and fostered an environment of community collaboration that guides training for public health professionals.
不断变化的公共卫生专业的未来与通过基于能力的培训来发展实践技能息息相关。在本文中，我们描述了宾夕法尼亚州东北部东斯特劳兹堡大学公共卫生硕士项目的一项课程变革。该项目转型的首要目标是确保所有课程要素都包含相关的愿景、价值观、使命、目标和目的。第二个目标是利用持续的数据输入和评估来纳入灵活评估的机会。变革过程帮助大学教师明确了该项目的愿景，并营造了一个社区合作的环境，用以指导公共卫生专业人员的培训。
