@bich Agree with the concerns. If there was expansion, it should be "Preventive Medicine"; Food protection, water protection, environmental exposures...but remain focused on the prevention of chronic diseases of life/aging.
@bich The exciting part was taking a student to a department head meeting and their face as they saw action based on their own work...
@bich Agreed. The City/County Managers I dealt with were pretty reasonable. I taught the students to prepare three documents for any potential policy issue; something less than two minutes (the elevator speech), a two page point paper for department heads or City Manager, and then a well documented piece that include appropriate data.
@bich Oh, And by "available", I mean to researchers and policy makers....Hoping the the policy makers listen to the researchers....
@bich So much of this research is hit and miss. All HCFA-15 forms should be available to determine; population based threats, comparative prices, solidify demographics associated with poverty...and on...and on....
