Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals
What have we been learning about competencies needed to respond to a public health emergency, like COVID-19?

Join NALBOH and the Public Health Foundation for a virtual town hall meeting on the Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals (Core Competencies).  The Council on Linkages Between Academia and Public Health Practice (Council on Linkages) is in the process of reviewing and revising the Core Competencies, and this virtual meeting is an opportunity to provide feedback on how the Core Competencies can better serve the public health workforce. It is essential to consider what is being learned during the COVID-19 pandemic that needs to be considered as the Core Competencies are being updated.
During the meeting, an overview of the Core Competencies will be provided, the review and revision process will be discussed, and participants will have a chance to share their thoughts on the Core Competencies with fellow board members, other public health professionals, and the Council on Linkages. Come join your colleagues in discussing how the Core Competencies can be improved to address changing needs of public health professionals and organizations. 

Speakers:
Kathleen Amos, Assistant Director, Academic/Practice Linkages, Public Health Foundation
