Training in Finland
The competence goals of the public health nurse degree arise from the population’s health needs and the professional qualifications required and the scientific knowledge of the public health field.
The national nurse and the public health nurse degree qualifications are included in the goal setting. The chief learning officer, the teaching staff, the representatives of the working life and the students participate in the curriculum planning. Also the teaching staff is involved in the national curriculum work and see that the curriculum of the school obeys the national alignments and EU-directives.
