Canada’s evolving health education perspective emphasizing the concept of health literacy within the broader public health system reflects the need for trained, competent and skilled health educators designing, implementing and evaluating health-related programs. Higher education can play an important role in moving forward the health education process bridging research and practice. Capacity building in the health education and promotion workforce requires engagement from university systems, their collaborators, and participating students interested in improving the health of individuals, communities, and nations. This article provides: (1) illustration for the need for health education in higher education to move the practice of public health forward in Canada,(2) rationale for embedding greater emphasis on the health education perspective and process within Canadian academe, and (3) responses for future directions throughout health education practice for health educators entering the public health workforce in Canada and beyond.  \nVamosS, Hayos J. Putting health education on the public health map in Canada:The role of higher education.Am J Health Educ. 2010;41(4):310-318. This paper was submitted to the Journal on February 12, 2010, revised and accepted for publication on April 26, 2010.  \nintrodUCtion  \nHealth education is an emerging and evolving field in Canada, which highlights the need for designing, implementing and evaluating health-related programs by skilled practitioners and professionals. The role of higher education through the lens of health education has the potential to emphasize the importance of processes involved in bridging research and practice. Developing professional and competent health-related practitioners contributes to capacity building in the health education and promotion workforce. From a local, provincial/territorial, national and international perspective implementing health education within higher education is a path  \nworth exploring further to move the field of public health practice forward within Canada and beyond.  \nThis paper explores the role that higher education can play in facilitating the important health education process needed to move the public health field forward in Canada. Specifically, this paper provides: (1) illustration of the need for health education in higher education to move the practice of public health forward in Canada,(2) rationale for embedding greater emphasis on the health education perspective and process within Canadian academe, and (3) responses for future directions throughout health education practice for health educators entering the workforce in Canada and abroad.  \nProblem Statement  \nHousing health education in Canada’s higher education can play a critical role in moving the practice of public health forward.
