THE ROLE OF PHYSICIANS TRAINED IN MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH IN COMMUNITY SERVICE AND TEACHING: A FOLLOW-UP REPORT

Helen M. Wallace M.D.1, Samuel Dooley M.D.1, Victor Eisner M.D.1, Ronald Thiele M.D.1, and Constance Fraser M.S.W., M.P.H.1

1 Division of Maternal and Child Health, University of California School of Public Health at Berkeley

A review of the current status of 91 graduates of the Maternal and Child Health Teaching Program of the University of California School of Public Health at Berkeley over a 5-year period shows that 76 are employed in organized community health work. A third of the group have full-time or part-time teaching responsibilities. Four fifths of that group are certified or eligible for certification by a medical specialty board (predominantly the American Board of Pediatrics). This high proportion suggests that the public health profession is giving greater recognition to the value of basic clinical training with the increase in the provision of combined, preventive, treatment, and rehabilitation services in a community setting.
