Clinical prevention and population health curriculum framework published in this month’s American Journal of Preventive Medicine. The framework is the initial product of the Healthy People Curriculum Task Force formed to accomplish the Healthy People 2010 goal of increasing the prevention content of clinical health professional education. CCPH has been serving as a resource to the Task Force, represented by CCPH executive director Sarena D. Seifer and CCPH senior consultant Suzanne Cashman. The full-text article and one of three accompanying editorials is available for free online at http://www.ajpm-online.net/.

To put the curriculum framework into practice, we recommend the CCPH publication, “Advancing the Healthy People 2010 Objectives through Community-Based Education: A Curriculum Planning Guide.” For more information, visit http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/guide-healthypeople.html
