Abstract
Introduction: Since the 1980s, when health promotion started differentiating itself from health education and became mainstream in multidisciplinary public health, professional development issues have been an important and recurring theme. Workforce surveys have been conducted, consensus on core skills for health promotion has been sought, training programs in the process and skills of health promotion have been developed and implemented, and under‐ and post‐graduate university courses have been established.
