FC 15: Evaluate policies for their impact on public health and health equity.
Leadership
FC 16: Apply leadership and/or management principles to address a relevant issue.
FC 17: Apply negotiation and mediation skills to address organizational or community challenges.
Communication
FC 18: Select communication strategies for different audiences and sectors.
FC 19: Communicate audience-appropriate (i.e., non-academic, non-peer audience) public health content, both in writing and through oral presentation.
FC 20: Describe the importance of cultural competence in communicating public health content.
Interprofessional Practice
FC 21: Integrate perspectives from other sectors and/or professions to promote and advance population health.
Systems Thinking
FC 22: Apply a system’s thinking tool to visually represent a public health issue in a format other than standard narrative.
BIOSTAT 1: Identify and evaluate epidemiologic study designs applied to public health and clinical research questions.
BIOSTAT 2: Apply appropriate statistical methods for estimation and inference according to the type of study design for answering a particular research question.
BIOSTAT 3: Evaluate the strengths and limitations of statistical analyses in public health and biomedical studies.
BIOSTAT 4: Apply concepts of probability, random variation and statistical probability distributions commonly used in public health practice and biomedical research.
BIOSTAT 5: Perform power and sample size calculations to assist in the design of clinical or observational studies.
BIOSTAT 6: Develop written reports on statistical analyses for peers, collaborators, and public health and biomedical research audiences.

EH 2: Prescribe measures for control of pathogens in environmental media.
EH 3: Design programs to manage environmental hazards.
EH 4: Assess exposure to hazardous chemical and biological agents in the environment.
