“…Over the past decade, many new schools have developed in countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, largely based on pre-existing departments of social medicine, occupational and environmental health, epidemiology and others with stimulus of MPHs and PhDs newly trained abroad. [16][17][18][19] While the US or new European models may not be ideal, there is a case to be made to develop a more comprehensive approach in Canada by unifying the multiplicity of academic departments, centres and institutes "under one umbrella", creating recognizable high-profile academic centres of excellence, preferably -but not necessarily -with independent or semi-independent faculty status. Uniting relevant departments and centres into a faculty or school with a defined common mission and objectives would enhance their combined capability to produce the needed cadre and standards of public health professionals.…”

“…But brought together, each would contribute to a larger and potentially more robust entity with the sum being greater than its parts. 18 Schools of public health should attract federal and provincial recognition, support and funding. A Canadawide system of accreditation will be equally important to promote national standards and international recognition.…”

In addition to establishing Canadian federal institutions for public health to work in cooperation with provincial and local health authorities, the infrastructure of public health for the future depends on a multidisciplinary and well-prepared workforce. Traditionally, Canada trained its public health workforce in schools of public health (or hygiene), but in recent decades this has been carried out in departments and centres primarily within medical faculties. Recent public health crises in Canada have led to some new federal institutions and reorganization of public health activities as well as other reforms. This commentary proposes re-examination of the context of public health workforce training and especially for schools of public health as independent faculties within universities as in the United States or, as developed more recently in Europe, semi-independent schools within medical faculties. The multidisciplinary nature of public health professionals and the complex challenges of the "New Public Health" call for a new debate on this vital issue of public health workforce development. Public health needs a new image and higher profile of training, research and service to meet provincial and national needs, based on international standards of accreditation and recognition.

“…In some cases, such as surgery, this was not an obstacle as it was recognized from the outset in all member states. In contrast, it was problematic for specialities such as public health that was recognized only in the United Kingdom and Ireland, although subsequently also in France and Finland(McKee et al 1992). The original directives were supplemented by a series of subsequent amendments (European Commission 1989a), largely involving extending the number of specialities recognized in each member state and, more recently, to include the newer member states and the wider European Economic Area.…”

Formally, the European Union has relatively little role in health and health care. This paper offers a guide to those responsible for developing and implementing health policy within the member states of the European Union. It first describes the legislative framework of the Union, the formal position of health and health care in European Union law, and the concept of subsidiarity. It continues by examining a series of areas in which provisions related to the 'four freedoms' of movement of goods, services, persons and capital have implications for health and health care, such as free movement of professionals, of patients, of health care providers, and of pharmaceuticals. It concludes by considering when a member state can block free movement and how health can get on to the policy agenda.
