Certification in Public Health—Training for Obsolescence1

DONALD O. ANDERSON2

2 Chairman of the Specialty Committee; Professor and Director of the Division of Health Services Research and Development Health Sciences Centre, University of British Columbia Vancouver, B. C.

Changes in the nature of employment of persons trained in public health, in the Royal College training programme, and in the teaching objectives of departments of community medicine, have been considered by the Specialty Committee in Public Health of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. A recommendation has been made to the Council of the College to retain the specialty of public health within the Royal College but to permit two new flexible options for certification after a minimum of two years of clinical training; one of these options involves the recognition of a new specialty in community medicine.
