Abstract

Twenty-first century advances have significantly altered the functions of public health professionals, resulting in a need for advanced level training in community health leadershipandpracticeoriented research without interruption of professional careers. We present an example of an innovative Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) program developed at the University of South Florida College of Public Health. This program incorporates 21st century public health competencies within a competency-based curricular model, delivered in a hybrid format (fall or spring online delivery and a 1-week face-to-face summer institute) in collaboration between academic and practice-based public health professionals at local and national levels. This revised competencybased program is an example of howtomeet the needs of the 21st century public health practitioners while maintaining their connections to the practice world.
