Council on Linkages Update

November 2021

Greetings!

Below is a Council on Linkages Update for November 2021. Please feel free to share any or all of these opportunities in your organization's newsletter or other communications.

Now Available: Newly Revised Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals

Following a yearlong revision, the 2021 Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals (Core Competencies) are now available. Adopted by the Council on Linkages Between Academia and Public Health Practice (Council on Linkages), the newly revised Core Competencies describe crosscutting or foundational knowledge and skills for all public health professionals. Changes in the 2021 version reflect significant updates to the content, wording, and structure of the Core Competencies, with a focus on improving harmonization with other workforce development resources, adding and expanding concepts of increasing importance in today’s public health environment, and making the Core Competencies easier to use. Learn more and access the latest version of this key workforce development resource.
