Ms. Mollie Mulvanity
Deputy Director Council on Education for Public Health
Criteria Revisions: March 2016 Update
Major Goals/Priorities • Ensure quality of education in public health • Our mission • Our charge from USDE • Increase flexibility and opportunities for innovation
• Simplify and reduce the reporting burden • Preserve the school distinction/designation • ASPPH’s request
• Released curricular criteria for comment (Feb) • Web-based & in-person presentations to groups, listening sessions, Q & A • Considered Round 1 comments on curriculum • Released full draft for comment (Nov) • Employer Panel at APHA (Nov)
2014 • Discussions begin in Council • Web survey to stakeholders • Technical Assistance Session with Q & A
2015
2016 • Considered Round 2 comments (Jan) • Released revised full draft for comment (Feb) • Consider Round 3 comments (June) • Release updated draft for comment (July) • Consider Round 4 comments (October) • Adopt final criteria & implementation plan (release in November)
Major proposed changes: review & overview • “5 core areas” replaced with specific competencies defined for all MPH students • Redefinition of SPH requirements • 3 MPH • 2 doctoral • SBP curricular criteria integrated in SPH & PHP criteria • Changes in methods of “counting” faculty resources • Flexibility in practice experience requirements for MPH
• Greater definition for DrPH • Vastly reduced reporting burden in research, service, etc.
Major changes between rounds 2 & 3 of comment • Reduced # of required MPH & DrPH foundational competencies & updated content • Clarified criteria that elicited comments/questions • MPH practice experience • Tracking post-graduation outcomes • Adjusted faculty resource requirements • Fewer restrictions on double-counting • Added “Foundational PH Knowledge” for MPH & DrPH, separate from competencies for each
Some emerging consensus during round 2... • Consensus on many areas • Identified priority areas for continuing discussion • # of required SPH degree offerings • Evaluation & outcomes • Faculty resources • MPH, DrPH, MS, PhD & other grad curricula • All criteria open for comment in round 3, though priority areas are intended focus
Next steps • Comments due to CEPH by COB on May 16 • Stay tuned in early July for next draft! • Next comment period in summer to early fall—likely due date in mid- to late September • Anticipated release of criteria & implementation plan in late Oct – early Nov • Implementation plan will explain what you need to do & by when • Past experience suggests 1st SVs with new criteria will be in 2018, but nothing decided yet!
