The requisite capacities and capabilities of the public health practitioner of the future are being driven by multiple forces of change, including public health agency accreditation, climate change, health in all policies, social media and informatics, demographic transitions, globalized travel, and the repercussions of the Affordable Care Act. We describe five critical capacities and capabilities that public health practitioners can build on to successfully prepare for and respond to these forces of change: systems thinking and systems methods, communication capacities, an entrepreneurial orientation, transformational ethics, and policy analysis and response. Equipping the public health practitioner with the requisite capabilities and capacities will require new content and methods for those in public health academia, as well as a recommitment to lifelong learning on the part of the practitioner, within an increasingly uncertain and polarized political environment.
未来公共卫生从业者所需的能力正受到多种变革力量的驱动，包括公共卫生机构认证、气候变化、健康融入所有政策、社交媒体与信息学、人口结构转变、全球化旅行以及《平价医疗法案》的影响。我们描述了公共卫生从业者可以培养的五种关键能力，以便成功地为这些变革力量做好准备并做出应对：系统思维与系统方法、沟通能力、创业导向、变革型伦理以及政策分析与应对。要让公共卫生从业者具备所需的能力，公共卫生学术界的人士需要采用新的内容和方法，而且从业者自身要在日益不确定和两极分化的政治环境中重新致力于终身学习。
