Technical Report on Health Care Education. Technical Group Report No. 5.

Overview & Synopsis

One in a series of reports by technical consulting groups, the document presents data and recommendations relevant to the task of developing plans for the future of Montana post-secondary education. An introductory outline of problems attending the projection of future needs in health care education in Montana is followed by a detailed review of data collected on basic education available or needed in 32 health care areas. The continuing education section points out that the rapid increase in technology and almost explosive development of new techniques and modalities make continuing education an absolute necessity, which is generally lacking in Montana. An eight-page summary gives specific and general educational recommendations and conclusions regarding the health education needs of the State. Six appendixes present supporting tabulated data. (NH)
