The Healthy People Curriculum Task Force convened health professions and public health faculty with expertise in population health to be appointed to the Curriculum Framework 5-year Revision Workgroups for one year beginning in December  2023.   Forty-seven faculty experts are serving on four component-specific workgroups.

The role of the Workgroups is to address redundancy, gaps, and recommend major and minor editing for their respective Framework Component. Workgroups will also review edits proposed to other Components and will participate in the open comment period revisions and final review.  The Workgroups provide comments and proposed edits to the Task Force in March, June, and September 2024. 

The Framework was first published by the Task Force in 2004 and undergoes revision every five years. The 2025 revision will be published in January 2025.
