The federal government has been the single most dominant force shaping the development of health professions over the past 50 years. Described as both a patron and proprietor of health professions education, the federal government's role is a factor that health professionals cannot ignore. This article focuses on the three major federal initiatives (Veterans Administration training programs, Title VII of the Public Health Service Act, and Medicare's Graduate Medical Education) which have most significantly influenced the training in and development of the disciplines of psychology and medicine. The significance for psychology's involvement in national health policy, particularly during this era of reform, is highlighted.
在过去50年里，联邦政府一直是塑造卫生专业发展的最具主导性的单一力量。联邦政府被描述为卫生专业教育的资助者和所有者，其作用是卫生专业人员不能忽视的一个因素。本文重点关注三项主要的联邦举措（退伍军人管理局培训项目、《公共卫生服务法》第七章以及医疗保险的毕业后医学教育），这些举措对心理学和医学学科的培训与发展产生了最为重大的影响。文中强调了心理学参与国家卫生政策的重要性，尤其是在这个改革时代。
