Professional Development

Background:

Effective public health practice relies on specialized competencies.
Existing competency sets did not fully address chronic disease professionals' needs.
The National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) initiated the development of chronic disease competencies.

Purpose of the Study:

To define and categorize essential competencies for professionals in chronic disease prevention and control.
To develop a unique framework for chronic disease practice.
To establish a shared language and understanding of required skills.

Main Methods:

A blended approach of concept mapping and document analysis of existing public health competencies was employed.
Stakeholder engagement and review by public health experts ensured a comprehensive understanding.

Main Results:

A framework with seven competency clusters was developed: strategic leadership, people management, program/resource management, program design/evaluation, public health science application, policy/systems change influence, and support building.
The framework highlights interrelationships among skills and knowledge for managing state chronic disease programs.
Competencies integrate communication and cultural competence into job functions.

Conclusions:

The developed framework reflects practitioners' views and integrates essential skills.
Influencing policy and systems change is a critical component of chronic disease practice.
The competencies offer a valuable resource for professional development and program management in the field.
