Abstract

During the fighting against COVID-19, both the public health education and public health workforce of China have exposed important challenges. The present review discusses dilemmas and weakness that relate to the position of public health education in the higher education system, public health education system, curriculum system, teaching methods, practice-based teaching, training of highly qualified personnel in public health, public health teachers, remuneration and non-monetary honorable rewards for the public health workforce. Suggestions are also proposed for each of the challenges.

在抗击新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情的过程中暴露出我国公共卫生教育与疾控人才队伍的建设存在很多问题和短板。本文围绕着我国公共卫生教育在高等教育中的定位,公共卫生教育体系、课程体系和教学方法、实践教学,公共卫生高层次人才培养,公共卫生师资,以及公共卫生人才待遇和政策导向等方面,思考面临的困境和存在的短板,并提出相关建议。.
