Major changes between rounds 2 & 3 of comment

competencies & updated content

• Clarified criteria that elicited comments/questions

• MPH practice experience

• Tracking post-graduation outcomes

• Adjusted faculty resource requirements

• Fewer restrictions on double-counting

• Added “Foundational PH Knowledge” for MPH & DrPH,

separate from competencies for each

Some emerging consensus during round 2...
