  1. Sharon S. Krag Associate Dean, Graduate Education and Research Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health Kathleen Miner Associate Dean, Applied Public Health Emory University School of Public Health

  2. ASPH Public Health Biology Competency Workgroup Deserves a big Thanks!

  3. Andrew Faucett, CDC ORISE Fellow and Emory Faculty, Emory and CDC Jonathan Fielding, Professor, Health Services and Pediatrics, UCLA School of Public Health Sally Fogerty, Associate Commissioner, Center for Community Health Sylvia Furner, Sr. Associate Dean and Assoc. Prof. of Epi, UIC Tim Hoff, Associate Professor of Health Policy & Management, Albany John McGowan, Professor of Epidemiology, Dept. of Epi, Rollins School of Public Health Andy Stergachis, Epidemiology Professor, Adj. Professor of Pharmacology & Int. Chair, Pathobiology, University of Washington Anne Thorndike, Instructor in Medicine, Mass General Hospital LuAnn White, Director, Center for Applied EH Public Health, Tulane University

  4. First step was for the Workgroup to agree on the following definition of Public Health Biology: the biological and molecular context of public health

  5. The workgroup asked the academic deans of the 36 ASPH-member schools to submit relevant course competencies. Nine schools responded.

  6. Using three conference calls, the Workgroup agreed on overarching domains into which 6-8 of these course competencies fit.

  7. Delphi 1, 2, & 3 were used to decide on consensus core competencies to represent the discipline of public health biology. Participants in Delphi: Workgroup Workgroup & Resource Group

  8. Resource Group: Ron Brookmeyer, Director, MPH Program, Professor of Biostatistics, Bloomberg School of Public Health Michele Caggana, Faculty, Albany Betty Gulitz, Associate Dean, University of San Francisco  Gary Ketner, Professor, Molecular Microbiology & Immunology, Bloomberg School of Public Health Wayne Lamorte, Professor, Epidemiology and Surgery, Boston University         Mike Moser, Co-Chair Epi Competency Workgroup   Peggy Leatt, Co-Chair HPM Competency Workgroup Ken McLeroy, Co-chair BSS Competency Workgroup Mark Robson, Chair, EH Competency Workgroup Jack Barnette, Chair, Biostats Competency Workgroup

  9. Upon graduation, a student with an MPH degree will be able to... 1. Integrate general biological and molecular concepts into public health.

  10. 2. Communicate the biological and molecular basis of public health.

  11. 3. Explain the role of biology in the ecological model of population-based health.

  12. 4. Recognize that biological, chemical, and physical agents affect human health.

  13. 5. Apply biological principles to development and implementation of disease prevention, control, or management programs.

  14. 6. Describe how behavior alters human biology.

  15. 7. Describe the role of the immune system in population health.

  16. 8. Explain how genetics and genomics affect disease processes and public health policy and practice.

  17. 9. Assess the ethical, social, and legal issues within public health biology.

  18. 10. Apply evidence-based biological and molecular concepts to inform public health laws, policies, and regulations.
