Public health education is experiencing record growth and transformation. The current emphasis on learning outcomes necessitates attention to creating and evaluating the best curricula and learning methods for helping public health students develop public health competencies. Schools and programs of public health would benefit from active engagement in pedagogical research and additional platforms to support dissemination and implementation of educational research findings. We reviewed current avenues for sharing public health educational research, curricula, and best teaching practices; we identified useful models from other health professions; and we offered suggestions for how the field of public health education can develop communities of learning devoted to supporting pedagogy. Our goal was to help advance an agenda of innovative evidence-based public health education, enabling schools and programs of public health to evaluate and measure success in meeting the current and future needs of the public health profession.
公共卫生教育正经历着创纪录的增长和变革。当前对学习成果的重视使得必须关注创建和评估最佳课程及学习方法，以帮助公共卫生专业学生培养公共卫生能力。公共卫生学院和项目将受益于积极参与教学研究以及更多支持教育研究成果传播和实施的平台。我们回顾了当前分享公共卫生教育研究、课程和最佳教学实践的途径；我们从其他健康专业中识别出有用的模式；并且我们就公共卫生教育领域如何发展致力于支持教学法的学习社区提出了建议。我们的目标是帮助推进基于证据的创新公共卫生教育议程，使公共卫生学院和项目能够评估和衡量在满足公共卫生专业当前和未来需求方面的成功。
