• NCHEC's New 8th Edition Companion Guide Is Now Available (Oct 21, 2021)

  It’s finally here! NCHEC has released The Health Education Specialist: A Companion Guide for Professional Excellence, 8th edition, in both print and ebook format. This newly revised guidebook contains revised Responsibilities, Competencies, and Sub-competencies from the latest Health Education Specialist Practice Analysis (HESPA II 2020) model.

  This updated edition includes revisions to this previous work and now includes eight distinct chapters that correlate to the expanded Eight Areas of Responsibility for Health Education Specialists. The companion guide includes both entry- and advanced-level Competencies and Sub-competencies, and will serve as the latest study tool for health education specialists preparing for the April 2022 MCHES® and October 2022 CHES® examinations.

  In addition to exam preparation, the publication can also be used to assess the health education knowledge of both certified and non-certified practitioners. Instructors in professional preparation programs may find the format and organization of this book to be a useful supplement to textbooks and classroom lectures. Employers can encourage their staff to utilize this guide as a tool to determine whether additional professional development in specific areas is needed in order to keep up with emerging trends and new developments in the field of Health Education and Promotion.
