A 2020 vision for educating the next generation of public health leaders.

To meet the dynamic and evolving challenges of public health in the 21st century, our society should foster the next generation of public health leaders. We offer a vision for doing so, by introducing prevention literacy and education from the earliest possible starting point and then broadening these concepts throughout the educational ladder. Making this societal commitment now to nurture such future leaders should make the country healthier by 2020 and beyond. Published by Elsevier Inc.
