Developed between August 2004 and August 2006, the Master of Public Health (MPH) competencies target MPH students, regardless of specialization, upon graduation.  This project was supported by CDC. For more information, click here.

Developed between February 2008 and August 2009, the Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) competencies builds upon the success of the MPH project. These competencies target DrPH students, regardless of specialization, upon graduation.  This project was supported by CDC. For more information, click here.

Supported by the CDC Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response, ASPH is building upon existing work in the field to provide a national framework for competency-based curricula and training and for performance benchmarks to measure public health preparedness and response. The project is in response to the 2006 Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA) and will be completed in December 2010.

ASPH is developing a global health competency model aimed at providing a baseline overview of the knowledge, skills, and other attributes that are expected of masters-level students in global health programs. This project is scheduled for completion in the spring of 2011. For more information, click here.

ASPH is establishing educational standards for undergraduate public health education.  In Phase 1, ASPH is gathering experts from public health and arts & sciences faculties to define what every undergraduate should be able to know and do to improve health and eliminate disparities in populations around the world; and in Phase 2, ASPH will articulate a set of competencies for undergraduate public health students (majors or minors) within a continuum of public health education.  Phase 1 is scheduled for completion in the spring of 2011. CDC is providing support for this
project. For more information, click here. 

At the request of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ASPH is engaging the appropriate experts to develop a proposed model of core competencies for a masters-level specialization in public health preparedness and response. This effort is supported by a Cooperative Agreement with the CDC, Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response (CDC OPHPR). This project is scheduled for completion in June 2011.
