Application of the Role Delineation Project “Framework” to a Professional Preparation Program

摘要

ABSTRACT:Using the Framework for the Development of Competency‐based Curricula for Entry Level Health Educators, the health education faculty at the University of Alabama at Birmingham reviewed and modified their under‐graduate health education professional preparation program. Efforts focused on the five steps of preparation and study, review and organization of Framework subcompetencies, organization of Framework subcompetencies into potential courses, placement of objectives for courses, and revision of schedule and sequence for professional preparation courses. The process produced seven core courses to be required of all health education majors. A master list of subcompetencies and objectives also was developed. Faculty perceived several benefits from participating in the project. (J Sch Health 1987;57(4):147
