A Model for Public Health Workforce Development Using the National Public Health Performance Standards Program

Abstract

Workforce development programs in public health should link improvements in workers' performance with improvements in their agencies' performance. The ten essential services of public health provide criteria for measuring both individual worker training and agency performance. This shared foundation was the basis for a model strategic training program developed for use in a 500-employee urban county health department. Full implementation of this model as a foundation for assessment, curriculum development and evaluation requires careful attention to management issues, confidentiality of employee records and evaluation methodologies. a model for public health workforce.pdf
