Strenthening the Population Health Workforce

As public health challenges continue to evolve, building a strong and skilled workforce remains essential. The Public Health Foundation’s Competencies for Population Health Professionals provides a valuable framework to help professionals strengthen the knowledge and skills needed to improve community health outcomes. These competencies support work across healthcare, public health, community organizations, and health systems, with focus areas including leadership, communication, systems thinking, equity, policy development, community partnerships, and program planning. This resource can be helpful for workforce development, training, strategic planning, and professional growth across minority health organizations.
