APTR releases revised Clinical Prevention and Popualtion Health Curriculum Framework

APTR is pleased to announce the release of the revised Clinical Prevention and Population Health Curriculum Framework (CPPH Framework), a product of the interprofessional APTR Healthy People Curriculum Task Force established in 2002. Version three of the Framework consists of 4 components and 23 domains, with each domain including topic areas and illustrative examples.  

Public Comment Period: The Task Force invites educators and the public to submit comments online through the APTR website by September 30, 2014.

The Framework offers a common core of knowledge for clinical health professions about individual and population-oriented prevention and health promotion efforts. Health professions educators are encouraged to review their curricula and requirements to ensure they include elements of the Framework. 

The Framework provides:

• Content outline that is compatible with a range of learning outcomes or competencies as determined by each health profession, 
• Structure for organizing and monitoring curriculum, 
• Structure for communicating within and among health professions. 

The CPPH Framework was featured on a Healthy People 2020 Spotlight on Health Webinar titled, "Prevention and Population Health Education Across the Health Professions," which was co-sponsored by APTR and the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP). A recording of the event is available at: http://healthypeople.gov/2020/learn/webinarsArchive.aspx#aptr2014
