[SPEAKER]
Welcome to Session 4. We will be looking at the second and third public policy arenas: occupational definitions and standards for research and evaluation of CHW programs and services.
Any conversation about recognizing the CHW as a regular occupation is likely to turn eventually to setting occupational standards. We begin this session by looking at key issues within this policy arena:
- What influences are behind the drive for credentialing?
- What influences oppose credentialing?
