Abstract

Objectives. A training needs assessment project tested the use of 'universal' competencies for establishing a model training agenda for the public health workforce. Methods. Agency supervisor selected competencies for training priorities. Regional and national public health leaders used these selections to design the model training agenda. Results. The competencies given high priority by supervisors varied among state and local agencies and include some not within the universal set. The model training agenda reflected supervisor's priorities as well as leader's perspectives. Conclusions. The universal competencies provide a useful starting point, but not necessary an exclusive framework, for assessing and meeting the training needs of the public health workforce.
