Characterizing the Competencies for Public Health Graduates in Australasia: Protocol for a Mixed-Methods Study
The resulting competency framework is expected to provide a validated structure for guiding public health education and workforce development within Australasia. By equipping graduates with competencies aligned with current and future public health needs, this framework aims to enhance the region's capacity to address significant health challenges and disparities. Dissemination of findings across Council of Academic Public Health Institutions Australasia (CAPHIA) member institutions will support the integration of this framework into curricula, thereby informing public health education and workforce initiatives in Australasia.
