Establishing a Certificate Program in Noncommunicable Diseases at the Rollins School of Public Health: Planning Phase Results Público

Abstract

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) constitute the largest burden of disease globally, however, there is a lack of workforce capacity building programs to meet the challenge. This paper constitutes formative work at the scholastic and literature review levels for the larger initiative of producing a certificate program in Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) for the Rollins School of Public Health (RSPH) at Emory University. The literature reviews pertinent aspects of NCDs workforce competencies, existing trainings and curricula, as well as instructional design methodology. Results from a student interest survey outlining suggested competencies are detailed in addition to a survey of potential partners in the Atlanta area. Introducing a workforce-capacity building program in the form of an NCD certificate at Rollins would both fill a global need and meet student demand and would establish RSPH as the capacity-building hub, both domestically and internationally.
