Annotation: This training manual, designed for pediatric residents and other graduate students in helping professions, promotes the attitudes, skills, and knowledge required for providing family-centered services, specifically through interprofessional collaboration. The purpose of the training is to make participants aware of the positive value of family-centered, collaborative care and of professionals' role in providing such care. The concepts contained in the manual derive from two major schools of thought with regard to serving families: (1) family-centered care is the most effective care because families have opportunities to participate in decisions about their child's health care and education and (2) interprofessional collaboration recognizes that professionals interdependently—rather than independently—meet the multiple priorities and diverse needs of families.

Annotation: This report recommends legislative proposals to increase the number of physicians practicing general medicine in order to meet the public's health care needs in the 21st century. It identifies shortage areas and suggests reforms to modify the workforce including those that help finance graduate medical education, improve minority representation, and promote more general practitioners in the profession. It reviews current trends to determine deficiencies in the supply of doctors, considers the impact of adopting the Council's goals and recommendations, reviews options that are available to achieve the goals, and suggests legislative actions to achieve them.
