Context: The 2008 Public Health Agency of Canada’s (PHAC’s) “Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada” (the “Canadian core competencies”) outline the skills, attitudes, and knowledge essential for the practice of public health. The core competencies represent an important part of public health practice, workforce development, and education in Canada and internationally. However, the core competencies are considered outdated and are facing calls for review, expansion, and revision. Objective: To examine the literature on public health competencies to identify opportunities and recommendations for consideration when reviewing and updating the Canadian core competencies. Methods: This narrative literature review included 4 components: 3 literature searches conducted between 2021 and 2022 using similar search strategies, as well as an analysis of competency frameworks from comparable jurisdictions. The 3 searches were conducted in collaboration with the Health Library to identify core competency-relevant scholarly and gray literature published in English since 2007. Reference lists of sources identified were also reviewed. During the data extraction process, one researcher screened each source, extracted competency-relevant information, and categorized these data into key findings. Results: After identifying 2392 scholarly and gray literature sources, 166 competency-relevant sources were included in the review. Findings from these sources were synthesized into 3 main areas: (1) competency framework methodology and structure; (2) competencies to add; and (3) competencies to modify. Discussion: These findings demonstrate that updates to Canada’s core competencies are needed and overdue. Recommendations to support this process include establishing a formal governance structure for the competencies’ regular review, revision, and implementation, as well as ensuring that priority topics applicable across all competency categories are integrated as overarching themes. Limitations of the evidence include the potential lack of applicability and generalizability to the Canadian context, as well as biases associated with the narrative literature review methodology.

“…As nurses work and think within the mobile middle space of the rhizome, they may grow their perspectives and form new health-to-planet knowledge connections, which may create relations and spatiality to political and system entities. A rhizomatic planetary health nurse will continually grow and form new relationships with separate pieces of the (Leffers et al, 2017;Vold et al, 2020).…”

“…• Provide specialized mental health first aid that includes climate change-related psychoterratic syndromes , which provides nurses with an accurate diagnosis that reflects their patient's lived experience and is quantifiable for admission data collection. • Continuing education programs should be free or inexpensive and offered through online platforms and staff inservices, which target the EDoH of the communities in which nurses provide care (Hill et al, 2010;Vold et al, 2020). • Build upon, update, share, and implement the work that is already being done by the nursing community, such as the discussion and position papers from the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU) and Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) (CNA, 2008a(CNA, , 2008b(CNA, , 2017a(CNA, , 2017bMartin & Vold, 2019).…”

“…Nurses can begin to shift their individual healthoriented paradigms to one that expands the understanding of health to include interdependent human, animal, environment, and overall planetary wellbeing. Together, these may recalibrate nurses' future roles and responsibilities in addressing climate change to develop sustainable health services and programs (Hansen-Ketchum et al, 2009;Vold et al, 2020;Walker et al, 2021).…”

Calls for nursing action to address climate change are resounding throughout the nursing community, yet many nurses feel ill-prepared to engage in climate action. As a collective practice discipline, we argue that nursings’ internalized a rigid view of what nursing is and, through self-disciplining practices, actively police our knowledge and practice to conform within a bounded domain that fails to view global issues, such as climate change, as being within the scope of nursing. To build nurses’ climate action capacity, we draw on Deleuze and Guarttari’s (1987) concept of rhizomatic assemblages to make an explicit connection between health and climate change, but also how climate action is a moral imperative in the scope of nursing education and practice. Using examples in the four domains of nursing - education, practice, research, and policy, we present how nurses can engage in coordinated and collaborative efforts both within and outside of ‘traditional’ nursing practice to address the connecting and complicated pathways of a changing climate.

“…De modo complementario, se han propuesto diferentes estrategias, competencias y habilidades para fortalecer la formación de los PS en la temática de cambio climático y salud ambiental. En específico, se promueve la formación en conocimiento, aspectos éticos y de responsabilidad social en relación con estos temas, así como el entrenamiento en la aplicación de ese conocimiento en la toma de decisión y fortalecimiento de capacidades de liderazgo para poder influir sobre los sistemas de salud y las políticas públicas tanto nacionales como internacionales[27][28][29][30][31] .La formación de los PS basada en "planetary health", "one health", incluidos los elementos de ecología y sostenibilidad en salud, les permitiría prepararse para enfrentar los retos actuales y futuros en la práctica clínica, así como advocar activamente por políticas de desarrollo sostenible, que promuevan equidad social a partir de medioambientes saludables, participación comunitaria, promoción de resiliencia y sistemas de salud sostenibles, inteligentes y resilientes. Si bien estos temas podrían sobrecargar las mallas curriculares de las carreras en el área de la salud, debemos considerar que la formación y el entrenamiento de los PS son procesos dinámicos que se adaptan de acuerdo con las necesidades, conocimiento y tecnologías existentes en el mundo.…”

OBJETIVO: Analizar la incorporación de cursos de cambio climático y salud ambiental en las mallas curriculares del grado en Medicina, Enfermería, Nutrición y Psicología clínica en universidades latinoamericanas. MÉTODOS: Revisión documental de tipo descriptiva y transversal. Se analizaron las mallas curriculares de las diez primeras universidades latinoamericanas según los rankings QS Latin American University 2020, Times Higher Education World University 2020 y Academic Ranking of World Universities 2019. En cada malla curricular se buscó la presencia de cursos relacionados al cambio climático y la salud ambiental. RESULTADOS: De las 161 universidades que se incluyeron en el estudio, 104 ofrecían la carrera de Medicina, 93 de Enfermería, 77 de Nutrición y 118 de Psicología clínica. La mayor parte de las mallas curriculares incorporaron cursos de salud pública y/o epidemiología (más del 70%), sin embargo, entre el 22% y el 41% incluyeron cursos de salud ambiental, y solo una malla curricular tuvo un curso en cambio climático en Medicina y Enfermería (1%). CONCLUSIONES: Los cursos de cambio climático y salud ambiental han sido introducidos, de forma escasa, en las mallas curriculares del campo de la salud en universidades latinoamericanas. Esto podría debilitar el importante rol que cumplen los profesionales de la salud en la asistencia sanitaria a la población.
