“…Several articles from the USA involved analyses where sets of CCPH were used to capture workforce development needs and assess perceived changes in competency before and after a training program [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64]. Other articles, including a few from Canada, focused on settings where sets of CCPH were used to review academic curricula [30,50,54] and assess students' change in competence after a course, practicum, or program [65][66][67]. Furthermore, actors who were either developing new sets of CCPH for different regions or revising previous versions of CCPH, frequently consulted and referred to existing sets of CCPH internationally [49,50,53,68,69].…”

“…While these ePortfolios integrate social work theory and practice and offer opportunities for self reflection, program-wide ePortfolios have not been documented in the literature, and there continues to be an ongoing debate and development on the ideal way to assess or evaluate student competencies (Smith, 2010). Wallar and Papadopoulos (2015) noted it was important to develop clear public health competency statements for programs in Canada, as they vary from professional programs in United States, Australia and Europe to ensure they align with workforce needs to program learning objectives.…”
