Skills Online modules focus primarily on epidemiology, surveillance, information management and evidence-based planning. Are there plans to develop modules that address other public health issues?
A. The selection of Skills Online modules will continue to grow and evolve to meet the continuing education needs of public health practitioners. The Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada will also influence how the modules are revised and what new topic areas will be developed. You can expect future modules to retain a strong epidemiological focus. The primary purpose of Skills Online is to provide public health professionals like you with the knowledge and skills to support evidence-based public health practice.
