A Competency-Based Framework for Health Educators - 2006

This framework presents a new hierarchical model for health education practice at the entry-level, and two advanced-levels. Included are Areas of Responsibility and Competencies for Health Educators, as well as 35 Competencies and 163 Sub-competencies. The document also describes the historical development and evolution of a competency-based model for health education, summarizes the Competencies Update Project (CUP) research leading up to the latest model, and interprets the significance of the changes in the new model.

It is an essential reference for all health education students, faculty, practitioners, employers, policymakers, funding agencies, and any organization that provides workforce development and training for health educators. The document includes an assessment tool to measure the degree in which professional preparation curricula address respective Sub-competencies as part of a program analysis, and a detailed comparison of the old and new Responsibilities, Competencies and Sub-competencies. It is recommended for use in preparation for the revised CHES exam effective October 2007.
