Bridging the gap between education and practice in public health, with particular reference to less-developed provinces in China	2010-12-17		.txt	text/plain	3205	152	48	This paper summarizes the current status of increasing public healthcare demand and public health service capacity in China, especially in less-developed provinces, and introduces the current public health educational system and public health administration structure. It has been recognized that there are insufficient qualified, capable public health workers in the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCs) and other public health organizations, 3 particularly in less-developed provinces. This is partly a result of the gap between education and practice in public health, 3, 4 with a need to develop capacity in the public health workforce for disease control and health protection, and also to ensure that health systems deliver effective healthcare. There is a considerable gap between education and practice in public health that has been hindering the further development of public health in China.	./cache/cord-269575-hdqa12es.txt	./txt/cord-269575-hdqa12es.txt
