APTR Partners with NBPHE on We Are Public Health Workforce Study

The National Board of Public Health Examiners (NBPHE) is conducting a worldwide “We are Public Health” workforce study through the end of July. The study is being conducted  to  determine the  most  common  functions  of  the  public health workforce on a region-by-region basis across the globe. This will be the first-of-its-kind study using the task-based methodology to analyze the responsibilities of the global public  health  workforce  at  this  level  of  detail. The  National  Board  of  Public  Health Examiners  will  also  share  the  results  with  the  World  Health  Organization  and  World Federation  of  Public  Health  Associations  which  are  creating  workplans  to  prepare  the future of the public health workforce.

Your responses will ensure two important goals are achieved:

1. Conduct a study of the most common functions of the public health workforce on a region-by-region basis across the globe. This will be the first study using Job Task Analysis methodology to determine the functions of the global public health workforce at this level of detail. Results of this study will be available later this year.
2. Update the content outline of the Certified in Public Health (CPH) exam with a subset of the responses. The content outline of the exam is updated through a JTA process every 5-7 years to ensure the certification exam is testing candidates on the tasks most commonly done in public health. The integrity of the exam starts with this process and depends on an adequate number of survey responses.

Because your time and responsiveness is appreciated, the NBPHE is going to raffle off five (5) US $500 gift cards. You must share your email address in order to be eligible for the raffle.
