ds in Iowa."

They noted that the Association of Schools of Public Health has determined that the nation faces a shortage of 250,000 public health professionals. Meanwhile, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) has called for an increase of 10,000 public health physicians. ASTHO has said these shortages may become even worse in the near future, since 20 percent of state and local health agency workers are expected to reach retirement age within the next three years.

"We must invest now to ensure that we have a public health work force that has the size and expertise needed to meet future challenges," the presidents said.

Harkin chaired Wednesday's hearing of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee about of health reform issues related to prevention and public health. Coburn is the ranking Republican on that committee.
