Background: Ethics is a discipline, which primarily deals with what is moral and immoral behavior. public health Ethics is translation of ethical theories and concepts into practice to address complex multidimensional public health problems. The primary purpose of this paper was to conduct a narrative literature review-addressing role of ethics in developing curriculum in programs and schools of public health, ethics-related instruction in schools and programs of public health and the role of ethics in developing a competent public health workforce.Methods: An open search of various health databases including Google scholar and Ebscohost yielded 15 articles related to use of ethics in public health practice or public health training and the salient features were reported.Results: Results indicated a variable amount of ethics’ related training in schools and programs of public health along with public health practitioner training across the nation. Bioethics, medical ethics and public health ethics were found to be subspecialties’ needing separate ethical frameworks to guide decision making.Conclusions: Ethics based curricular and non-curricular training for emerging public health professionals from schools and programs of public health in the United States is extremely essential. In the current age of public health challenges faced in the United States and globally, to have an ethically untrained public health force is arguably, immoral and unethical and jeopardizes population health. There is an urgent need to develop innovative ethic based curriculums in academia as well as finding effective means to translate these curricular competencies into public health practice.

Although great strides have been made worldwide in the science of nutrition there remain many problems of under-nutrition and increasingly of obesity and related chronic diseases. However much has been learned over the past few decades about what works in the translation of science to practical policies and programmes to prevent and alleviate problems of nutrition. There is also increasing coordination of agencies and donors to support this effort. The need for capacity building in public health Nutrition has been stressed for many years by a range of academics, national and international organisations. The main emphasis in capacity building has been on the nutrition and health workforce but the causes of malnutrition are multifactorial and require collaboration across sectors in their solution. This means that public health Nutrition capacity building has to go beyond the immediate health workforce to policy makers in other sectors. There are many obstacles to the application of scientific knowledge apart from training and education, including lack of resources, unqualified advisers, media misinterpretations, public resistance to directives and conflicts of interest. These will be explored briefly in the presentation.
