Health education in the United States dates back to the late 19th century with the first programs to educate health educators. In the 1940s, quality assurance and standards for professional preparation of health educators were developed. Professional associations created guidelines for preparation of health educators over the next several decades. At the same time, accreditation efforts were introduced.
In the 1970s, health education started to evolve as a profession in the sociological perspective. Efforts to create a health education code of ethics, a skill-based set of competencies, rigorous system for quality assurance and a credentialing system were also initiated.
Today, health care educators can chose to be educated from 250 academic programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels in colleges and universities. A professional code of ethics has been endorsed by CNHEO, the leading health education professional association.
