This presentation describes the results of a “cross walking” activity compared the CUP health education competencies updated in 2007 with those developed in 2006 by the Association of the Schools of Public Health. This required taking each competency from the CUP set and matching it with all of the ASPH competencies. This was by comparing the competency language in the following ways: (1) assessing level of ability or skill as evidenced by the choice of the verb; (2) assessing content and its complexity that completes the competency statement; and (3) examining the relationships among of the other companion competency statements within its domain.

Learning Objectives:
Describe the process of cross walking Association of Schools of Public Health competencies with those developed by the health education profession.
