Health workforce has become a major concern and a significant health policy issue around the world in recent years. With recent international and national initiatives and models being developed and implemented in Australia and other countries, it is timely to understand the need and the rationale for a better trained and educated public health workforce for the future. Much more attention should also be given to evaluation and research in this field.Through this thematic series on Workforce and Public Health, we have drawn on the diverse nature of public health, workforce implications, education and training and national and international case examples of ongoing improvements and issues in this sector.
近年来，卫生人力已成为全球主要关注的问题和重大的卫生政策议题。随着澳大利亚和其他国家近期制定并实施国际和国家举措及模式，当下有必要了解未来培养训练有素、教育程度更高的公共卫生人力的需求及基本原理。该领域的评估和研究也应得到更多关注。通过这一关于卫生人力与公共卫生的专题系列，我们利用了公共卫生的多样性、人力影响、教育与培训以及该部门当前改进情况和问题的国内外案例。
