Join the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), the City of Milwaukee Health Department (MHD), and the Public Health Foundation (PHF) for a webinar on May 13, 2024, from 12-1pm ET. Presenters will discuss how they used the Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals​ (Core Competencies) to assess their workforce; identify gaps in knowledge, skills, and abilities; and address those gaps through training and other workforce development opportunities. Speakers from DHSS will share how they used the Core Competencies as a foundational part of their workforce development activities as a component of their Public Health Infrastructure Grant initiative and to support Public Health Accreditation Board accreditation. Speakers will also share their process to meaningfully integrate anti-racist frameworks and the Core Competencies to build organizational structure and staff development.
