Dear members:
The Public Health Agency of Canada is inviting you to participate in sharing your thoughts and ideas regarding the 2024 Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada!
The Public Health Agency of Canada has commissioned the National Collaborating Centres for Public Health to engage with the Canadian public health community in order to update the 2008 Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada.
Why is this project important?
The Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada have been used:
- As a framework for public health workforce development, collaboration, planning, and action.
- To inform public health education and training (e.g., graduate public health programs, certification), and continuing professional development.
- As a human resources tool for recruitment, orientation, position descriptions, performance evaluation, and retention.
- As a foundation for discipline specific competencies.
Invitation to participate – Share your ideas and perspectives!
The National Collaborating Centres for Public Health are committed to seeking input from a broad and diverse range of perspectives that make up the public health community in Canada. This project will engage and collaborate with key public health partners across the country to develop core competencies aligned with current needs and priorities of the public health system.
Core competencies reflect the essential knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for effective public health practice. Have a say in shaping the 2024 Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada. Your ideas and perspectives are critical.
There are different ways you can participate:
