NEHA's Building Food Safety Regulatory Capacity Through the Development of the National Curriculum Standard and Through Educational Development, Training and Other Learning Moments

项目摘要/摘要 自2011年以来，美国国家环境健康协会(NEHA)一直致力于 与FDA和其他合作伙伴达成合作协议，为 食品安全现代化法案(FSMA)规定的综合食品安全体系(IFSS)。 这项工作创造了大量有价值的教育和培训资源，包括 国家课程标准(NCS)。NCS是一个教育路线图，可以帮助建立食品安全 从入门级到领导层的监管能力。在这张地图中，航点是 实现保障食品供应安全的公共卫生目标所需的知识、技能和能力 而且有益健康。在为每一个人开展教育和培训方面仍有许多工作要做 NCS在人类食品、动物性食品和实验室监管需求方面的应用。尼哈将继续 将专业知识和合作带到谈判桌上。 随着这种发展的继续发生，也有必要坚持今天的教学 监管人员掌握监管食品所需的科学知识、工具和技术 以确保食品安全为目标的供应。这项正在进行的工作将继续进行，利用在线资源 核心知识元素，以及将这些知识转化为 练习一下。Neha将继续成为这一领域的领导者，因为我们将完善成人学习原则，如 沉浸式教学技术、点对点学习和动觉体验。 为了完成学习的生命周期，Neha将继续衡量所学的知识 通过形成性和终结性评估，并将在培训后与参与者接触，以 确定知识的保留和使用。从这次评估和课程评估中获得的信息将 作为全面质量改进计划的一部分，用于磨练课程。 此外，最近的新冠肺炎大流行和随后的在家工作订单也使 明确必须继续发展和完善替代教育和培训机制，以 不仅是传授信息，还能接触到成年学习者，产生与互动一样的智力影响 面对面的培训。事实上，在2020年4月的第一周，电子学习的下载量超过11,500次 内容出现在Neha学习管理系统(LMS)上。Neha将继续完善 作为该合作的一部分，我们在虚拟环境中开发在线资源和教学的方式 协议。

Project Summary/Abstract Since 2011, the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) has been working on cooperative agreements with FDA and other partners to build training and certification for the integrated food safety system (IFSS) as mandated by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). This work has created a wealth of valuable educational and training resources, including the National Curriculum Standard (NCS). The NCS is an educational roadmap that can help build food safety regulatory capacity from the entry level through leadership. Inside this map, the waypoints are the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to achieve the public health goal of keeping the food supply safe and wholesome. There is still much work to be done in developing education and training for every aspect of the NCS in human food, animal food, and laboratory regulatory needs. NEHA will continue to bring expertise and cooperation to the table. As this development continues to take place, there is also a need to persist in teaching today’s regulatory workforce on the scientific knowledge, tools, and techniques needed to regulate the food supply with the goal of keeping food safe. This ongoing work will continue, using online resources for the core knowledge elements, and face-to-face experiential learning that puts this knowledge into practice. NEHA will continue to be a leader in this area as we refine adult learning principles such as immersive teaching techniques, peer-to-peer learning, and kinesthetic experiences. To complete the lifecycle of learning, NEHA will continue to measure knowledge learned through formative and summative assessments and will reach out to participants post-training to determine retention and usage of knowledge. Information gained from this and course evaluations will be used to hone the courses as part of a total quality improvement plan. In addition, the recent COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent stay-at-home orders have made it clear that alternative education and training mechanisms must continue to be developed and refined to not just impart information, but to reach adult learners with the same intellectual impact as interactive face-to-face trainings. In fact, during the first week of April 2020, over 11,500 downloads of e-learning content occurred on the NEHA learning management system (LMS). NEHA will continue to improve the way we develop online resources and teach in a virtual environment as part of this cooperative agreement.
