Health & Medical
Modern medical and public health education was defined by two early 20th Century landmark documents: the Flexner Report and the Welch-Rose Report. These created two parallel and sometimes divergent systems. Review this 2008 NPR interview about the Flexner Report and Pages 49-55 of the Welch-Rose Report. Then, expand your research to how (and if) medical care and public health intersect. Are they mutually supportive or do they operate in silos? Is there room for improvement?

The health situation in the American society has experienced changes in the century which has contributed to a different perspective on how people view medicine and everything around that environment. Earlier on, medical care and public health operated independently with each getting insights from different sources and hence contributing to complicated health issues amongst the people. Medical or primary care refers to the foundation of the expert including their education and training. The way doctors and nurses receive their knowledge from medical schools is an important aspect towards ensuring that they perform their duties effectively in the field (Koo et al., 2012). Public healthcare, on the other hand, is the ability of the professionals to provide direct care and technicalities to the patients which can help cure their conditions at the moment. The whole nation’s well-being is highly dependent on the services of able professionals who understand the symptoms and diagnosis of their suffering.
