Abstract	Components of and creative planning for optimal health care for mothers and children are considered as well as changing patterns of health care. Applying what is known about the consumer and educating the consumer are discussed; also discussed are the role of the consumer in planning health care services, communication between doctor and patient, and the consumer as a partner in the health care team. Aspects of the health manpower described are the dimensions of the problem, possible redistribution of manpower and services, and functions of members of the health care team, including medical and non-medical professionals, other personnel, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Problems of designing effective training are treated; medical and behavioral science training for physicians and nurses, training in health care for social workers, and training and licensing other members of the team are considered; and making training relevant is discussed in terms of relating it to current medical and behavioral research findings, the health care system, and the realities of practice. Guidelines for future action and a list of conference participants are provided. (JD)
