Cover Story: Maternal, infant, and young child nutrition is vitally important for immediate and longer-term health, survival, development, and productivity. Knowledgeable, skilled health workers provide quality care, improve health outcomes, and meet global nutrition targets. This paper discusses a multistage process to map an existing curriculum, analyze expected competencies at levels of awareness, generalist, and specialist, and recognize broader factors when developing a competency-focused curriculum in pre-service education applicable to several health disciplines. The authors also provide examples of tools that can be used for review and discussion of curricula and competency at local and national levels and for integration of skills such as communication and counselling into maternal, infant, and young child nutrition services.
