Résumé : | The growing community health worker movement can be an important part of the solution to public health workforce shortages. Community health workers offer an opportunity to increase diversity and fill critical gaps in the skills of public health workers. Such workers help bridge the gap between clinical and population health, between agencies and communities and between providing services and organizing people to action. It is not enough for the education and training of the public health workforce to start at short-term programs designed to give specific skills. These programs must be part of a career ladder, progressing to associate and bachelor degrees and continuing to our traditional masters and doctorate level education. We must carefully design a system where people will be able to transfer their experience and skills easily between content areas, whether they are focused on maternal and child health, HIV education or environmental protection. We should welcome the accreditation of our state and local health departments and encourage our students with graduate degrees to seek certification. These efforts will be enhanced and have deeper meaning if we also pay attention to the preparation of community health workers and other staff with less formal education. The public health workforce will be strengthened by a connected web of education and training opportunities that will allow workers to be flexible and continue to advance over their long careers. |
