title: Developing the public health workforce in Canada: a summary of regional workshops on workforce education and training.
abstract: The report of the National Advisory Committee on SARS and Public Health recommended the need for a national public health human resource strategy and the need to identify opportunities for improving training. The recent regional workshops reinforced both these recommendations, and the excellent suggestions made by the participants will be utilized by the many work groups that will endeavour to improve public health system infrastructure in this country.
