The Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) released the Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) Core Competency Model in 2009. Between 2007 and 2009, a national expert panel with members of the academic and practice communities guided by the ASPH Education Committee developed its 7 performance domains, including 54 competencies. We provide an overview and analysis of the challenges and issues associated with the variability in DrPH degree offerings, reflect on the model development process and related outcomes, and discuss the significance of the model, future applications, and challenges for integration across educational settings. With the model, ASPH aims to stimulate national discussion on the competencies needed by DrPH graduates with the new challenges of 21st-century public health practice and to better define the DrPH degree.
美国公共卫生学院协会(ASPH)于 2009 年发布了公共卫生博士(DrPH)核心能力模型。在 2007 年至 2009 年期间,一个由学术和实践界成员组成的国家专家小组在 ASPH 教育委员会的指导下,制定了其 7 个绩效领域,包括 54 项能力。我们提供了对 DrPH 学位课程多样性相关挑战和问题的概述和分析,反思了模型开发过程和相关结果,并讨论了该模型的意义、未来应用以及在教育环境中整合的挑战。通过该模型,ASPH 旨在激发全国范围内就 21 世纪公共卫生实践的新挑战下 DrPH 毕业生所需的能力展开讨论,并更好地定义 DrPH 学位。
