Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate the competency profiles of Public Health (PH) training programs in Israel using a new curriculum mapping tool focused on 57 competencies across six domains.
- It assessed five Israeli Health Education Institutions (HEIs) offering MPH or BPH degrees, revealing that core curricula addressed 45-84% of the competencies, with strengths in Methods and Socioeconomic Determinants of Health but weaknesses in Environmental Determinants and Health Policy domains.
- The findings highlighted variability in PH curricula across institutions and prompted a reassessment to improve and harmonize PH training to better prepare graduates for contemporary challenges in the field.
