Reflection on past practices is key.

There is no denying that determining the supply and demand of healthcare services is complex, as stated by Alvarez, Zelmer and Leeb in their essay. Many factors such as scope of practice, composition of healthcare teams and financing will be discussed as Canadians deliberate on the functioning of the healthcare system. As we strive to ensure an adequate supply of healthcare providers to meet future needs of Canadians, it is key that we reflect on past practices. Furthermore, it is necessary to undertake long-range projections, as each issue rests on the availability now and in the future of health professionals.

Planning for health human resources requires us to think about the forces and factors that attract healthcare professionals to their jobs and keep them there.

The impact of non-physician health directors on full-time public health coverage in Connecticut.

Seven years after passing a 1971 law enabling individuals without MD degrees but trained in public health to become local directors of health, the proportion of Connecticut towns covered by full-time directors had risen from 14 per cent to 38 per cent and the proportion of the population covered had risen from 46 per cent to 63 per cent. The directors of health without MD degrees were satisfied with their positions and believed they had developed good relationships with physicians, the community, and government.
