The COVID-19 pandemic, clearly illustrated the magnitude of threat caused by communicable diseases and the importance of public health work. In addition, an aging population, increasing costs of health care, epidemic non-communicable diseases and health issues raised due to climate changes are also present challenges illustrating that the need for a competent public health workforce is greater than ever.Furthermore, the digitalization that progressively permeates our society also transforms public healthcare profession. For instance, digitalization has the potential to make healthcare systems more efficient; to support a people centered care and increased empowerment, a kind of flipped healthcare is . The digitalization in public health is still in its infancy, and there is a need for how it could be planned, introduced and implemented in an evidence-based manner. Furthermore, digitalization also enables increased cooperation and knowledge sharing and increased access to information, i.e. crucial ingredients in evidence-based work.The digitalization and the transformation of the public healthcare workers landscape accentuates the need for strong competence in research methodology, theory and how it underpins public health practice i.e. one of the core competencies for public health workers. Public health workers must know how to find information, how to analyze and evaluate evidence from several sources and how this could support evidence-based decisions. Traditionally, public health educational programs include scientific and information literacy as learning outcomes, supported by courses in e.g. research methods, biostatistics and epidemiology. These “methodological courses” are accompanied by “subject courses” with different theoretical aspects of public health. One advantage with separated courses is that students get the chance to fully concentrate on one theory and its complexity, e.g. biostatistics. On the other hand, there is a risk that the relationship to subject courses may be weak. For instance, a course in biostatistics may be focusing on different significance test and how to interpret confidence interval, which are rather complex theory demanding time for reflection and understanding, leaving very little or no time over for putting the analyses in its professional context, discussing how statistical analyses are interpreted and used as support for an evidence based public health decision.In short, one challenge in an educational program is how to integrate methodological and subject courses in a synergetic way. It is also crucial to consider the progression in scientific method beyond the subject progression in a program. Finally, information literacy, pointed out as one of the 21st century skills in our information society, is also vital for public health workers.This article describes the method used and findings in a work aiming at developing the progression of scientific literacy, including information literacy, and integration of scientific and subject literacy in a bachelor program in public health. The specific questions addressed in this work was:- How to increase the integration and synergy between “methodological courses” and “subject courses”- Evaluate and develop the progression in scientific literary- Evaluate and develop the progression in information literacy, using library-faculty partnership
