Abstract
Short, intensive education programs provide an under-utilized avenue for public health professionals to learn and apply the latest methods and technologies. We report on the creation and implementation of the Skills for Health and Research Professionals (SHARP) program at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. The self-sustaining, concise, intense educational format equips participants with concrete skills, better enabling them to respond to complex public health challenges.
短期强化教育计划为公共卫生专业人员学习和应用最新方法和技术提供了一个未得到充分利用的途径。我们报告了哥伦比亚大学梅尔曼公共卫生学院(Mailman School of Public Health)创建和实施 "健康与研究专业人员技能"(SHARP)计划的情况。这种自我维持、简明、密集的教育形式让参与者掌握了具体的技能,使他们能够更好地应对复杂的公共卫生挑战。
