With the eventual goal of developing competency-based training programmes intended to improve PHEP, an initial step towards this goal consisted of the development of an ECDC public health emergency preparedness logic model that focuses particularly on cross-border threats to health in the European context. 1082/2013/EU, seeks to identify both the strengths and the areas for improvement of public health emergency ancements in preparedness, including the integration of public health into the broader community emergency response system and the clarification of exactly what knowledge, skills, and attitudes a public health professional brings to the response, have been made since 2001. The resulting competency model features 18 competencies within four core learning domains targeted at midlevel public health workers. Public Health, Healthcare, and Emergency Medical Services. Core Competency 2.1: Demonstrate Proficiency in the Detection of and Immediate Response to a Disaster or Public Health Emergency Nurses must be prepared to recognize unusual clinical presentations, illness clusters, and epidemiologic clues that are indicative of public health emergencies, mass exposure, or disaster events.

Conclusions: Practitioners and academics have adopted the Public Health Preparedness and Response Core Competency Model, some of whom have formed workgroups to develop curricula based on the model. CDC (formerly called Centers for Public Health Preparedness or CPHP) are mandated by federal legislation to use competency-based training 14 PERLC at accredited, graduate schools of public health provide preparedness and response training and education to fulfill the needs of the public health workforce in 39 states and the District of Columbia Preparedness and Response Core Competencies for Public Health 225. Mission Area: Response. Provide core competency-based training to state, local, and tribal public health authorities within self-defined service areas. The Public Health Preparedness & Response (PHP&R) Core Competencies were issued in 2010 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Association of Schools of Public Health. Leadership Group Meeting: ASPH Preparedness and Response Core Competency Development Project. The training will target mid-level public health workers and be based on the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) / CDC Public Health Preparedness and Response Core Competencies.
