Sorry for crosspostings. Désolé pour les affichages multiples.
*** Rebonjour.
One of the first jobs of the training and education committe of the
Canadian consortium of Health promotion research a while ago was to
do an inventory across Canada of all the training possibilities in
academic contexts; even if it dates a bit, it is available on the
publications section of the Consortium's website at:
http://www.utoronto.ca/chp/chp/consort/index.htm . This inventory was
also the base of a chapter by Marcia Hills et al. in a book on
training issues in health promotion/education in the americas: Arroyo
V., H., Ed. (2001). Modelos y Practicas en las Américas. San Juan,
Universidad de Puerto Rico.
Another publication of interest is also on the consortium website,
the report from a 2000 workshop held in Ottawa under the joint
patronage of the consortium, the CPHA and CATCH. It adresses the
delicate issue of whether or not courses and programs should be based
on core competencies or not. The report of the May 2003 workshop,
held in Calgary, should also uploaded on the conmsortium website soon.
En français, la situation est plus simple car le site promosanté
<www.promosante.org>, basé à l'université Laval et dont le
conosortium est l'un des parrains, tient constamment à jour l'offre
de formation francophone en promotion de la santé au Canada (et même
ailleurs). La version française du rapport de l'atelier de 2000
devrait être en ligne sous peu sur le site web du consortium, de même
que de l'atelier 2003 de Calgary.
Merci à Alison et son collègue de continuer à animer la discussion !
Michel O'Neill. ***
>Three weeks ago, February 27, 2004, the HPSEDUC list readers received a
>notice by Michel O'Neill, of a feature article in the Ontario Health
>Promotion E-Bulletin (OHPE) about "Learning Health Promotion: Many Journeys,
>Many Paths", which I and Kevin Churchill of Health Promotion Ontario (public
>health) wrote.
>This article can be viewed at
><http://www.ohpe.ca/ebulletin/ViewFeatures.cfm?ISSUE_ID=350>,
>and the related resources message, with our listings of colleges,
>universities and institutes, can be viewed at
><http://www.ohpe.ca/ebulletin/ViewResources.cfm?ISSUE_ID=350> .
>
>We received considerable feedback about this short summary article on how
>and where people can learn about health promotion, and thought to share
>these views and questions here, and invite further discussion.
>
>Many readers commented on content of the feature article - about what makes
>up "health promotion", core competencies and the conceptual approaches of
>health promotion, about how we learn and who we learn from, and the career
>path related to health promotion. We received:
>- comments on core competencies for health promotion as lacking in two key
>areas: knowledge of human biosystems and psychology;
>- concerns about neglect of other fields that include health promotion such
>Occupational Health Nursing;
>- issue with our statement that HP is not exclusively a professional
>activity, in regards to standards: "wellness people who have no training or
>governing body misrepresenting their skills and education with no safeguards
>to the public"; and
>- supportive comments about the article, with specific interest in our
>suggestion of looking into mentor programs and contacts.
>
>A reader asks "Do you happen to have any information about such [mentor]
>programs and/or the best means of finding someone who might be able to
>provide a little bit of guidance?" Unfortunately, we had no easy answers,
>and hope that discussion on this list can offer some additional insights and
>suggestions for mentoring programs in health promotion.
>
>
>In the past 3 weeks since the article and the resources list were published,
>there's also been a steady stream of email messages about the resources
>listings that we compiled. Our criteria was to find, first, all the specific
>health promotion programs at universities and some colleges, then health
>promotion related programs such as community health programs/ epidemiology,
>public health and health education, that included a health promotion
>approach. We quickly realized that we'd left out some very key programs in
>our listing, and hastened to add these to the online list. Unfortunately, we
>know that there is no way for the OHPE Bulletin to include all the programs
>that would be useful for health promoters; OHPE simply doesn't have the
>resources to be comprehensive for a field this diverse.
>
>The OHPE Bulletin has featured 'letters to the editor' responding to the
>article in two issues, and has included additional programs and courses that
>are recommended in these columns. See the first batch from March 5th at
><http://www.ohpe.ca/ebulletin/FullFeature.cfm?ID=351&ROWNUMBER=1>
>and in today's feature/column at
><http://www.ohpe.ca/ebulletin/FullFeature.cfm?ID=353&ROWNUMBER=1> .

>I will post some of the suggested courses, programs, summer schools and
>workshop series that have been sent in. All comments are welcome!
