Abstract
Educating health promotion professionals must involve learning activities that not only facilitate for attainment of health promotion knowledge but that also develop students’ competencies in health promotion. The objective of this chapter is to show how we across three modules facilitate education for the health promotion profession. We describe a selection of student-centred learning activities – problem-based learning, practice through internship and oral and written communication – that in combination constitute innovative pedagogy in health promotion education. Drawing on two student case examples that represent a practice- and a research-oriented professional development, respectively, we discuss how our education facilitates the acquisition of core health promotion competencies, and in this way transforms and develops students into health promotion professionals.
