Abstract

Many female health education pioneers made seminal contributions to public health and social justice, yet these examples are not well documented in textbooks or integrated into public health curricula as pedagogical learning opportunities. Providing biographies and lessons learned from the past leaders within undergraduate health education curricula can help develop students’ skills as future leaders and address gender inequities in the field. Gender inequities in higher education as well as many public health practice settings result in lower salaries, slower career advancement opportunities, fewer supervisory positions, increased work-life conflicts, and heavier workloads. Developing women’s competencies in leadership and professionalism early in their careers is critical to meeting public health challenges such as COVID-19. We present four female health education trailblazers from different historical eras and various workforce sectors who exemplify leadership attributes (i.e., courage/risk taking, vision, advocacy, mentorship) and can be highlighted as a part of future health education curriculum. Innovative methods and approaches are provided for integrating these leadership lessons into undergraduate public health courses, in alignment with the HESPA II 2020 competencies. Learning from the past to inform the future is critical to inspiring and shaping the careers of emerging health educators.
培养未来公共卫生领导者的策略:向卫生教育领域的开拓性女性学习
许多女性健康教育先驱为公共卫生和社会正义做出了开创性的贡献,但这些事例并没有被很好地记录在教科书中,也没有被纳入公共卫生课程作为教学学习的机会。在本科生健康教育课程中提供过去领导者的传记和经验教训,有助于培养学生作为未来领导者的技能,并解决该领域的性别不平等问题。高等教育以及许多公共卫生实践环境中的性别不平等导致了较低的工资、较慢的职业晋升机会、较少的主管职位、更多的工作与生活冲突以及更重的工作量。要应对 COVID-19 等公共卫生挑战,培养女性在职业生涯早期的领导力和专业能力至关重要。我们介绍了来自不同历史时期和不同工作领域的四位女性健康教育开拓者,她们是领导力特质(即勇气/承担风险、远见、倡导、导师)的典范,可作为未来健康教育课程的一部分加以强调。为将这些领导力课程纳入本科公共卫生课程提供了创新的方法和途径,与 HESPA II 2020 能力要求保持一致。鉴往知来对于激励和塑造新兴健康教育工作者的职业生涯至关重要。
