The Graduate Medical Education National Advisory Committee (GMENAC) was charged with the task of advising the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services on overall strategies on the present and future supply and requirements of physicians by specialty and geographic location. In September of 1980, GMENAC submitted its final report to the Secretary. Included in this report are policy directives that were issued in the form of recommendations; several of these recommendations are directed specifically at the independent non-physician health care professions. The potential impact of these recommendations upon the profession of optometry is monumental; and, the authority of GMENAC to issue directives regarding the supply of optometrists and the future requirements of optometric manpower must be challenged.
毕业后医学教育全国咨询委员会（GMENAC）的任务是就按专业和地理位置划分的当前及未来医生供应与需求的总体战略，向卫生与公众服务部部长提供建议。1980年9月，GMENAC向部长提交了最终报告。该报告包含以建议形式发布的政策指令；其中一些建议特别针对独立的非医生医疗保健行业。这些建议对视光学专业的潜在影响是巨大的；而且，GMENAC发布有关验光师供应和视光人力未来需求指令的权威性必须受到质疑。
