Overview of fellows awarded throughout the programme period 1999–2013.

<p>Altogether, 43 fellows were selected, however, for one fellow it was impossible to obtain visa. Hence, 42 were successfully placed, one withdrew due to conflict with supervisor at the host institution, and one was unable to return to home institution. Numbers of fellows for the period 1999–2013 sum up by the numbers indicated in bold, the years 2009–2012 are also shown as breakdown in light print.

DataSheet1_Competencies for Transformational Leadership in Public Health—An International Delphi Consensus Study.pdf

Objectives: This Delphi study intended to develop competencies for transformational leadership in public health, including behavioral descriptions (descriptors) tailored to individuals and their contexts.Methods: The study involved five rounds, including online “e-Delphi” consultations and real-time online workshops with experts from diverse sectors. Relevant competencies were identified through a literature review, and experts rated, ranked, rephrased, and proposed descriptors. The study followed the Guidance on Conducting and REporting DElphi Studies (CREDES) and the COmpeteNcy FramEwoRk Development in Health Professions (CONFERD-HP) reporting guidelines.Results: Our framework comprises ten competencies for transformational public health leadership (each with its descriptors) within four categories, and also describes a four-stage model for developing relevant competencies tailored to different contexts.Conclusion: Educators responsible for curriculum design, particularly those aiming to align curricula with local goals, making leadership education context-specific and -sensitive, may benefit from the proposed framework. Additionally, it can help strengthen links between education and workforce sectors, address competency gaps, and potentially reduce the out-migration of graduates in the health professions.</p
