This webinar will provide an overview of the 2014 version of the Core Competencies,
changes made in this version and how these changes address
feedback from the public health community, and
resources and tools available to support use of the Core Competencies. In addition, faculty from Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH)-accredited schools of public health will describe how they use the Core Competencies in developing curricula for education in public health, discuss how they use the Core Competencies in designing external trainings for the public health workforce, and provide an overview of how competencies relate to CEPH accreditation. Participants are encouraged to join the interactive webinar to learn how the Core Competencies can be effectively used in academia and training for the workforce.
