Description:
As the complexity of the challenges facing the public health workforce has increased, many have argued that insufficient resources have been devoted to the preparation of the workforce, including its leaders. Here we describe the growth of national advocacy for public health leadership and workforce development. We discuss the creation of the National Public Health Leadership Development Network (NLN), a consortium of institutes providing a system for leadership development, and we review the network’s creation of the Leadership Competency Framework for core curriculum design and development of performance standards for public health practice.
