A View from Washington: Federal Policy in Relation to Allied Health over Two Decades

By Thomas W. Elwood

A collection of 31 essays, originally published in the Journal of Allied Health, covering the development of federal policy in relation to allied health. For allied health educators and students, this valuable text helps them understand the steps required to move an idea into a plan of action and from thence to package the plan for presentation to congressional staff and leaders. The author presents consistently canny analyses published over a 20 year period of the relation of federal policies to the allied health professions. These essays afford the perspective of a wonderfully seasoned observer of the Washington scene who explains complex political and budgetary issues with simplicity and elegance.
