Primary Health

Abstract Sustainability of the National Health Systems (NHS) has been facing different challenges. A community-oriented Comprehensive Primary Health Care (CommOr C-PHC) could help its survival. Such a framework, focused on health promotion, primary prevention, not communicable disease management, requires new capabilities among health professionals. Considering teamwork and interprofessional collaboration (IPC) as PHC core elements, there is growing recognition of the need of interprofessional education (IPE). Nevertheless, italian medical education is distant from other disciplines and mainly based on hospital care settings. Since this situation represents an obstacle to implement a CommOr C-PHC model of health service, new ways of training students and retraining actual health workers should be developed. The aim of the project is to design IPE programs and to improve IPC within the C-PHC framework, shared learning environments placed in the community were developed. At the end of 2017 a group of young italian health professionals (public health resident, young general practitioner, social assistant, nurse, medical anthropologist, etc) founded the Campaign “2018 Primary Health care: Now or never”, a cultural movement of public health advocacy. Its goals are: The creation of a common cultural background through the study of PHC evidence and best italian and international practices. Organization of workshops all over Italy: peer education training session, site-visits, lectures with Italian and foreigner health professionals, based on need assessment methods. Individuation of learning environments placed in the community and in a primary care setting where students can apprehend social determinants of health, exercise critical thinking and develop transprofessional knowledge. Key messages Young health professionals from Italy, starting from the need for a different educational framework, based on IPE, created a movement to defend the NHS and promote PHC principles. The success and large participation of a national campaign sustaining PHC and aimed at promoting interprofessional education shows the need for a change in the medical education field.

Contrary View

TWO letters are presented which take opposing views of federal aid for medical education and for pediatric education in particular. The first of these is from Alan Valentine, LL.D., President, University of Rochester, N.Y. Dr. Valentine read a paper on the financing of the privately endowed medical schools before the 1948 Annual Congress on Medical Education and Licensure. (J.A.M.A. 137:1, 1948.) He is eminently qualified to discuss this subject. His extraordinarily able and realistic presentation of the current and future financial needs of medical schools concludes with an answer to the contrary view of Dr. William C. Black. (Pediatrics 1:561, April, 1948.) The second letter is from Dr. Thomas O. Gamble, Professor of Obstetrics, Albany Medical College, Albany, N.Y. Certain aspects of Dr. Gamble's letter require comment. In his third paragraph, Dr. Gamble quotes incompletely from the ICH Committee Report (Pediatrics 1:524, 1948) as follows: "It was finally agreed (Ed. note: i.e., by the ICH Committee) that neither the U. S. Children's Bureau nor the U. S. Public Health Service should be the administrative agency, but that the matter should be determined by the Federal Security Administrator, whose agency includes both the U. S. Children's Bureau and the U. S. Public Health Service. The correct quotation is: "It was finally agreed that neither the U. S. Children's Bureau nor the U. S. Public Health Service should be named the administrative agency . . . (etc.)." The position of the ICH Committee was and is that the Federal Security Agency, which already administers grants-in-aid for study and training in several fields of medicine, would be the logical administrative agency; it was not considered within the province of the ICH Committee to recommend which branch of this agency should be designated by the administrator. There was no attempt at "camouflage," as suggested by Dr. Gamble. Dr. Gamble next attacks the recommended composition of the Council on Pediatric Education. He suggests that the Academy should say to the Federal Security Administrator:
