University of Washington (UW) international health program competencies
Ratings were on a scale of 1 to 3, with 1 being “very important,” 2 “somewhat important,” and 3 “not important.” The competencies were broken into subparts for purposes of asking survey respondents to rank their importance. When there are two or more sentences in a competency, each sentence was offered as a separate ranking. The first competency, for example, as it has three sentences, had three rankings. We used the mean of the rankings within each section for reporting in this article. There were 44 survey respondents: 37 students and seven faculty members.
The World Health Organization's burden-of-disease categories include communicable, maternal, perinatal, and nutritional conditions, noncommunicable diseases, and injuries.
