Designing a competency-based curriculum for an advanced training program in public health emergency management: a stepwise, mixed method approach, 2023.
Article in BMC medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionCombating the several public health threats on the African continent requires trained and equipped workforce. The establishment of the 6-month Africa CDC Public Health Emergency Management (PHEM) fellowship provides a pathway for developing a cadre of workforce that is capable of initiating and leading emergency management programs in Africa.
objectiveWe present the process undertaken to draw up a competency-based curriculum for the first continental advanced training program in PHEM.
methodA multi-step, mixed methodology was employed in this study. Systematic review process was triangulated with case reviews of similar training programs to provide the first draft of competencies. Through subsequent consultations with experts and technical iterations, the program's competencies and curriculum were developed.
resultThrough four iterative revisions, the competencies framework evolved with input from each stage, resulting in a final structure of three competency domains and 10 sub-domains. These informed the development of an 11-course syllabus with corresponding learning objectives, outline and content.
conclusionA curriculum that reflects the foundational skills desirable of professionals engaged in the practice, education, and research in public health emergency management in Africa was developed utilizing mixed methods. Although this exercise was designed for the advanced PHEM Fellowship program at Africa CDC, the process, emerging competencies and curriculum could benchmark competency-based emergency management training across the African continent.
