10 Guiding Principles of a Comprehensive Internet-Based Public Health Preparedness Training and Education Program

Objective: The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act calls for establishing a competency-based training program to train public health practitioners. To inform such training, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Association of Schools of Public Health managed groups of experts to produce a competency model which could function as a national standard of behaviorally based, observable skills for the public health workforce to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from all hazards.Design: A systematic review of existing competency models generated a competency model of proposed domains and competencies.Participants: National stakeholders were engaged to obtain consensus through a three-stage Delphi-like process.Results: The Delphi-like process achieved 84 percent, 82 percent, and 79 percent response rates in its three stages. Three hundred sixty six unique individuals responded to the three-round process, with 45 percent (n = 166) responding to all three rounds. The resulting competency model features 18 competencies within four core learning domains targeted at midlevel public health workers.Conclusions: Practitioners and academics have adopted the Public Health Preparedness and Response Core Competency Model, some of whom have formed workgroups to develop curricula based on the model. Efforts will be needed to develop evaluation materials for training and education programs to refine the model as well as for future training and education initiatives.

Control And Prevention

Abstract Tuberculosis, despite global effort to eliminate tuberculosis, still remains as a high burden to global public health. For tuberculosis elimination to be achieved, trainings and educations play pivotal role, tuberculosis control and prevention in particular. Internationally, several organizations are in charge of tuberculosis training and education program design, especially in its preparation and dissemination. In case of Korea, TB prevalence remains high, 59.0 per 100,000 in 2019. To overcome TB, institutes from both governmental and public sectors are organizing and providing tuberculosis-related training and education programs however, only few investigations on tuberculosis training in Korea was carried out, indicating difficulty lies in understanding and analyzing current TB training and education landscape. Hence, in this study, we have reviewed each institute and their roles in terms TB training and educational aspects as well as current tuberculosis status and strategies employed in Korea. Also, there are limitation lies in tuberculosis training and education thus, the call for global cooperation is necessary to response regional consideration against tuberculosis.

The integration of science is discussed today. The figures in this issue appear in the world. Mentioned among them Naquib al-Attas,and in Indonesia who keen to speak scientific integration is Amin Abdullah.This speech led to the birth of the 2013Curriculum in Indonesia with the demands of all subjects must contain a spiritual attitude (KI-1). This creates difficulties for teachers. Training and education program for teacher in applying The 2013 Curriculum is not technically in touch with their difficulties.Training and education program for teachermostly touchonly on aspects of teaching skills. This research is present to fill the gap that has not been filled by thattraining and education program. The results of this study is a simple description of the process of developing a physics textbook that begins from the study of old books and relevant theories for thisnew developmenttextbook to compiled new physics textbookincluding the content of Islamic values.

AbstractIn the fall of 2014, the US was faced with the reality that a deadly, foreign virus had entered its borders. Ebola, a disease thought to be of little threat to the US yet classified as a major bioterrorism agent, became a reality for the American government and its citizens. The introduction of Ebola unveiled many deficiencies in the country’s health care system, international travel policies, and ability to control or restrict the movement of exposed individuals in order to protect the larger population. The need to review and establish legal guidelines and policies to deal with these deficiencies is paramount: the inherent lack of training and education; weaknesses in monitoring, maintenance, and treatment; and the lack of uniform guidelines to isolate international travelers have all demonstrated that the country may not be able to control a larger-scale threat in the future.
