HEDIR, for Health Educators

A Long Hiatus

Folks,

We’ve been trying to make the HEDIR page more user-friendly and in that effort we’ve ignored the blog.  So starting today I’ll start making a concerted effort to contribute.  If you’ve been following the HEDIR, there has been a major discussion on the role of CHES and its importance/relevance, licensure of health educators and this has eventually led into a conversation about the role of health educators and RNs who deliver health education.

A few questions…

1)  Should health education move into the licensure stage?  If so, how much would you be willing to ‘pay’ for such license?  If no, why not?

2)  Although they may not be academically trained as health educators, are there other professions capable of providing effective health education?  If so, who and why?

More to come.
