Abstract

Health professions education assistance in dental public health has been congressionally authorized in one form or another during the last four decades. The US Department of Health and Human Services (and its predecessor, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare) has been a focal point for managing these federal programs. This report tracks the history of relevant national legislation, beginning in the 1950s with the Health Amendment Acts of 1956 and continuing most recently with the Health Professions Education Extension Amendments of 1992. The number of dental public health professionals trained and available to provide expertise and leadership to improve community oral health status has been tied to the presence and intensity of federal programming in this area.

摘要

在过去四十年里，国会已以某种形式授权提供牙科公共卫生方面的卫生专业教育援助。美国卫生与公众服务部（及其前身卫生、教育和福利部）一直是管理这些联邦项目的核心机构。本报告追溯了相关国家立法的历史，始于20世纪50年代的1956年《卫生修正案法案》，最近则延续至1992年的《卫生专业教育扩展修正案》。接受培训并能够提供专业知识和领导力以改善社区口腔健康状况的牙科公共卫生专业人员数量，与该领域联邦项目的存在和力度息息相关。
