Name the program, the funder, and the people it serves. Ask how the person showed a program worked.
A health department that copies a national midpoint will lose a program lead to the hospital. Use this metro's median for someone new to program work, and the 75th for someone who can run a funded program alone.
License and training
States do not license health educators. Many employers prefer the CHES or MCHES credential from the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing. Read the posting for the credential the funder expects.
Questions
What is CHES?
Certified Health Education Specialist, a national credential from NCHEC. It is common in postings but is not a state license.
