Vous êtes invité à participer à un sondage en ligne pour valider une version préliminaire des Compétences essentielles en santé publique au Canada 2024. Le sondage vise à évaluer le degré de consensus et à recueillir de la rétroaction de la communauté de la santé publique canadienne. Vos commentaires serviront à mettre à jour les Compétences essentielles en santé publique au Canada 2024.   

Accéder au sondage en ligne ici

Le sondage se déroulera jusqu’au 7 novembre 2024.  



Merci de votre participation continue!

Entre septembre 2023 et avril 2024, les Centres de collaboration nationale en santé publique (CCNSP) ont tenu plus de 55 réunions participatives (en personne et virtuelles) avec plus de 2 000 membres de la communauté de la santé publique canadienne de chaque province et territoire. Des intervenant·e·s venant d’horizons variés ont fourni leurs points de vue sur les versions préliminaire des Compétences essentielles en santé publique au Canada 2024, incluant des praticien·ne·s de la santé publique, des décideur·euse·s, des responsables des politiques, des éducateur·trice·s, des chercheur·euse·s, des étudiant·e·s et des organismes communautaires ayant une influence sur la santé. 

À la suite de cette vaste consultation et de revues de la littérature, une liste de compétences essentielles a été déterminée pour refléter les connaissances, les habiletés et les attitudes nécessaires pour assurer une pratique efficace en santé publique au Canada. L’équipe de projet reconnaît que cette version préliminaire de la liste de compétences essentielles présente des lacunes, et elle continue de dialoguer avec les partenaires autochtones, leaders en santé des communautés noires, les praticien·ne·s francophones et d’autres intervenants pour obtenir davantage de commentaires additionnels et spécifiques. Les commentaires seront pris en compte dans la prochaine version.

Poursuivez votre participation au projet des Compétences essentielles en santé publique au Canada 2024!

Veuillez transmettre cette invitation à vos collègues et à vos partenaires en santé publique de même qu’à vos réseaux. Encouragez-les à s’inscrire et à remplir le sondage en ligne.

You are invited to participate in an online survey to review the draft 2024 Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada! The survey seeks to test agreement and gather feedback from the Canadian public health community.

Access Online Survey Here

The survey will be open until November 7, 2024.  



Thank you for your continued engagement!

Between September 2023 and April 2024, National Collaborating Centres for Public Health (NCCPH) held over 55 engagement sessions (in-person and virtual) with more than 2,000 members of the Canadian public health community from every province and territory. Feedback on early drafts of the updated 2024 Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada was gathered from a broad and diverse range of perspectives – including public health practitioners, decision- and policy-makers, educators, researchers, students, and health-influencing community organizations.

Following this extensive engagement and literature reviews, a consolidated set of core competencies has been drafted that reflects essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for effective public health practice in Canada. The project team acknowledges there are gaps in this draft set of core competencies and continues to engage with Indigenous partners, Black Health leaders, Francophone practitioners and others to seek additional and specific input. Feedback will be incorporated into the next version.  


Stay engaged in the 2024 Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada project!  

Please share this invitation broadly with your colleagues, public health partners, and networks. Encourage them to sign up and complete the online survey.

Published on Monday, 29 July, 2024

In 2024, CNA is embarking on essential maintenance and updates for the Community Health Nursing Certification exam. These activities will encompass currency reviews (i.e., list of competencies, the practice test, and the exam form.) CNA and CHNC firmly believe that collaboration will significantly benefit the nursing community.

CNA has asked CHNC to identify nurses who can participate in the maintenance activities for the Community Health Nursing exam. These nurses will contribute by reviewing questions or competencies, updating content, and ensuring alignment with industry standards.

Continuous Learning (CL) Credit: Participation in this committee can be credited toward the 100 hours of Continuous Learning (CL) required to maintain specialty certification, CHNC (C).
