Milestones in Public Health Curriculum
 In 2007, ASPH, with funding from Pfizer, announced a request for applications to support one SPH in creating an introductory public health course titled, "Milestones in Public Health Curriculum Development." The George Washington University (GW) School of Public Health and Health Services won the award in September 2007 as a result of a competitive bidding process. GW is developing the course in collaboration with the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences, the GW Graduate School of Education and Human Development, and the GW Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning.

MPH Core Competency Model
Developed between August 2004 and August 2006, the Master of Public Health (MPH) competencies target MPH students upon graduation. For more information, click here.
Competencies for the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree include:
-
Five core discipline areas (Biostatistics, Environmental Health Sciences, Epidemiology, Health Policy Management, and Social and Behavioral Sciences)
-
An integrated interdisciplinary, cross-cutting set of overall competency domains (Communication and Informatics, Diversity and Culture, Leadership, Professionalism, Program Planning, Public Health Biology, and Systems Thinking)
The competencies are intended to serve as a resource and guide for those interested in improving the quality and accountability of public health education and training. They were developed with respect for the uniqueness and diversity of the schools of public health (SPH). They are not meant to prescribe the methods or processes for achievement, recognizing that implementation of the competencies may vary as a function of each school’s mission and goals.
