Core Competencies Tools to Improve Organizational Performance
The performance of health departments and other public health organizations is closely tied to the competence of the workforce. Within the field of public health, skills desired for professionals delivering the Essential Public Health Services (EPHS) are detailed in the Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals (Core Competencies), a consensus set of competencies that can serve as a starting point for public health organizations trying to better understand and meet their workforce development needs.
In addition to these existing tools, a number of other resources are under development, including examples of how to demonstrate attainment of competence, examples to help clarify competencies, and guidance for building cultural competence.
All of these resources will be made available to public health professionals and organizations in either draft or final form as they are completed. Watch the Core Competencies Tools webpage or the Council on Linkages' Update for new resources. For more information about any of these tools, please contact Council on Linkages Project Manager Kathleen Amos at [email protected]. |
