56 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [September 18 Accreditation for Schools of Public Health" formulated by the American Public Health Association. As an integral part of the Graduate School of Public Health, it is proposed to establish a "Center for the Study of Patient Care and Community Health." This unit would provide an interdisciplinary focus for the study of patient care and public health, and would lay the foundation for a later doctoral program in public health. The Center would be concerned with such problems as the following: qualitative and quantitative aspects of the care of patients and the organization and delivery of its dental, medical, pharmaceutical, and nursing components; the maintenance of health; early detection of disease; estimates of the incidence and prevalence of disease; aspects of social and community structure that influence patterns of health and illness. A director for the Center would be appointed in 1970-71 to begin the planning program. An entering class of some twenty to twenty-five students is projected for 1970-71. This number might be expected to increase to fifty students within two to four years. The following table shows the staff and budget requested for 1969-71: 1969-70 1970-71 Biennial FTE Amount FTE Amount Total Dean 1.0 $30 000 $60 000 Assistant dean 1.0 20 000 40 000 Director, Center for the Study of Patient Care and Community Health 1.0 $25 000 25 000 Academic staff 8.0 140 000 140 000 Nonacademic staff 1.0 6 000 2.0 11000 23 000 Expense and equipment 5 000 10 000 20 000 Total $61000 $186 000 $308 000 3. Curriculum in Medical Dietetics ($89,000). This program has been approved by the University of Illinois Board of Trustees and the Board of Higher Education. The funds requested would provide the incremental amount needed for staff and expenses beyond what could be provided from budget-formula allowances: Annual Increases Biennial 1969-70 1970-71 Total 1.0 F T E director of the curriculum $14 000 $28 000 2 . 0 F T E instructors 22 000 44 000 1.0 F T E clerk-typist 6 000 12 000 Expense and equipment 2 500 5 000 Total $44 500 $89 000 This curriculum is designed to provide professional training in medical dietetics (applied nutrition) at the baccalaureate level. The first two years would be spent in a liberal-arts college or the equivalent, and the student would transfer to the Medical Center for his third and fourth years (including applied training in a hospital setting). P r o g r a m E x p a n s i o n and I m p r o v e m e n t Instruction 1. Departmental Organization of the College of Nursing ($314,800). The new College of Nursing Building will be ready for occupancy in September, 1969, when a substantial expansion of enrollment and faculty will begin. During the biennium 1969-71, undergraduate enrollment will increase by approximately 45 per cent and graduate enrollment by 100 per cent. Courses in three clinical areas (maternity, pediatric, and public-health nursing) will be added for students working towards the Master of Science in Nursing. In order to administer effectively the greatly expanded program of the College, it is necessary to establish a formal departmental structure, and the present request would provide the funds needed for administrative and clerical salaries and for departmental expense budgets. Five academic departments would be established: (a) foundations of nursing; (b) medical-surgical nursing; (c) maternal-child nursing; (d) psychiatric nursing; (e) public-health nursing. P a r t of the requested funds would also be used for nonacademic staff needed to help operate the teaching laboratories and provide other services in the new building. The following is a summary of the staff and funds required:
