17. The separation of the two disciplines has its roots
in the late 19th century, when medical schools began
to focus more on hospital-based care and scientific research
and less on community-based care and prevention.
The separation has continued partly because medical students
have jam-packed curricula and insufficient medical faculty
with public health expertise.
18. The Affordable Care Act
promises a future in which
preventive care and population health,
rather than procedures, are rewarded,
the gap between medicine and public health
may be closing
19. 2007 Institute of Medicine
report recommended that all physicians
receive basic training in public health.
20. Beginning next year,
the United States Medical Licensing Examination
(USMLE),
which is sponsored by
the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME),
will begin testing students on public health
principles.
Additional changes for all three parts of the exam
will be phased in over the next two years.

490 physicians and dentists

health in Georgia.
