PREFACE
The American people are demanding more and better ';';ealth
services, and these services can be provided only by specially
trained and educated personnel.
Present trends indicate the growth of health service in the
coming decade will far outpace the growth of population.
At the
same time, the health worker shortage will in all probability con-
tinue to worsen.
The ::hanging character of health care, on the
other hand, has brought into being a number of new categories of
allied health personnel, some of which did not exist ten years ago.
Although the problems of delivery of adequate health services are
many, an important factor is still related to inadequate supply Of
skilled health personnel.
The shortage of competent Hianpower in health, education, end
welfare services is a major problem in virtually every community
In order to close the gap between need and
country.
accross th
availability of health personnel for our new and expanding medical
services, we must take action at the local and state levels.
More
effectual recruitment of our youths into health occupations is
imperative.
The Labor Index describes over 200 Jccupations in health.
This first volume does not coverall the health occupations, how-
ever the editory hopes it will provide a base to build upon, as well
as to prospective students information on health occupations cur-
rently with critical shortage in the State.
