According to the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (NCHEC), health educators are "professionals who design, conduct and evaluate activities that help improve the health of all people."

The health education program at the University of Cincinnati is designed to prepare graduates for a variety of health education job opportunities. Health educators work to improve the health of individuals or communities, depending on their work setting and job responsibilities. For example, health educators working in health departments often are concerned with the health of the community they serve and may develop programs to impact people living in the community. Health educators working in business/industry may be working one-on-one with individuals to help them modify and improve their diet, increase their physical activity, reduce their stress levels, stop smoking, etc.

The seven basic responsibilities of health educators include:

• assessing individual and community needs for health education
• planning health education strategies, interventions and programs
• implementing health education strategies, interventions and programs
• conducting evaluation and research related to health education
• administering health education strategies, interventions and programs
• serving as a health education resource person
• communicating and advocating for health and health education

Each of these responsibilities is further broken down into competencies and sub-competencies as identified by the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing. Graduates of the program are eligible to sit for the national certification exam to become certified health education specialists (CHES).

Success

Health educators must be good communicators and like working with people. They need to be able to comfortably speak to individuals and groups and must have excellent writing skills. Further, those majoring in health promotion are usually committed to their own health and are excited about helping others improve theirs. Creativity is a real plus for health educators, as it often takes creative thinking to motivate and help individuals or communities to change health behaviors.

Both the behavioral and biological sciences form the foundation for health education. Course work is required in such areas as psychology, sociology, human growth and development, human anatomy and physiology, statistics and speech/communications.

Career

Graduates of the health education program can work in a variety of settings including corporate fitness centers, commercial fitness centers, hospitals, YMCAs and recreation departments.
