No. 31

(Senate Joint Resolution 40)

Senate Joint Resolution supporting the program of the State De-
partment of Health for recruiting medical personnel in the various
health services.

The General Assembly of Maryland gives its support to the efforts
of the State Department of Health in meeting the shortage of
medical personnel throughout the health services and activities in
this State.

The State Department of Health has been concerned over the short-
age of medical personnel at all levels of public health work. This is a
vital problem for the State of Maryland, as it is of the highest
importance to recruit young people into career services in the vari-
ous health care and public health programs.

In its work in this area, the State Department of Health has con-
sidered establishing a new agency to study various areas of the
shortage of public health personnel and the need for medical services
throughout the State as well as to conduct recruiting programs and
to make recommendations for training facilities.

This proposed agency or council would perhaps be similar to the
highly successful Hospital Costs Analysis Service, Inc.

During the past several years, a number of professional organiza-
tions and agencies have been involved with the State Department of
Health considering the establishment of a Health Careers Council.
These organizations and agencies have included the following:

American Physical Therapy Association, Maryland Chapter

Hospital Council of Maryland

Maryland Association of Hospital Pharmacists

Maryland Association of Medical Record Librarians

Maryland Dietetic Association

Maryland League for Nursing, Incorporated

Maryland Occupational Therapy Association

Maryland Public Health Association
