Description: Course Design for Public Health: A Competency-Based Approach is designed for public health students and practitioners.  This practical book is founded on the authors' collective classroom and field experience. The book enables a broad range of health professionals to design and deliver courses and educational programs.  The authors have field tested the book in more than twenty countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the United States.

This 'form based' systemic approach leads the reader step-by-step through the instructional design and evaluation process.  Learning experiences build on one another.  The book includes a variety of examples drawn from student projects.  The model is flexible and easily adaptable to other fields and disciplines.
