The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act calls for establishing a competency-based training program to train public health practitioners. To inform such training, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Association of Schools of Public Health managed groups of experts to produce a competency model which could function as a national standard of behaviorally based, observable skills for the public health workforce to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from all hazards.
A systematic review of existing competency models generated a competency model of proposed domains and competencies.
National stakeholders were engaged to obtain consensus through a three-stage Delphi-like process.
The Delphi-like process achieved 84 percent, 82 percent, and 79 percent response rates in its three stages. Three hundred sixty six unique individuals responded to the three-round process, with 45 percent (n = 166) responding to all three rounds. The resulting competency model features 18 competencies within four core learning domains targeted at midlevel public health workers.
Practitioners and academics have adopted the Public Health Preparedness and Response Core Competency Model, some of whom have formed workgroups to develop curricula based on the model. Efforts will be needed to develop evaluation materials for training and education programs to refine the model as well as for future training and education initiatives.
《大流行与全危害防范法案》要求建立一个基于能力的培训项目，以培训公共卫生从业者。为了为这种培训提供信息，疾病控制与预防中心以及公共卫生学院协会组织专家小组制定了一个能力模型，该模型可作为公共卫生工作人员预防、防范、应对各种危害并从中恢复的基于行为的、可观察技能的国家标准。
对现有能力模型进行系统回顾，生成了一个关于建议领域和能力的能力模型。
通过类似德尔菲法的三个阶段，让国家利益相关者参与以达成共识。
类似德尔菲法的过程在其三个阶段的回复率分别为84%、82%和79%。366名不同的个人对三轮过程做出了回应，其中45%（n = 166）对所有三轮都做出了回应。最终的能力模型在针对中级公共卫生工作者的四个核心学习领域中有18项能力。
从业者和学者已经采用了《公共卫生防范与应对核心能力模型》，其中一些人已经成立了工作组，根据该模型开发课程。需要努力为培训和教育项目开发评估材料，以完善该模型以及用于未来的培训和教育倡议。
