Briefly outlined, they are as follows: (1)the medicine men could fill the health care vacuum created by a shortage of health manpower and the high cost of training modern health workers; (2)they already possess traditional skills in treatment, prevention, and rehabilitation; (3)their treatment techniques use an astute approach to human ecology and health; (4)belonging to the same culture as their clients, they share common beliefs, values, and symbols of communication with them; (5)they are effective in some aspects of psychosomatic medicine and in the use of local herbs, roots, and barks for some treatments; (6)they are unhampered by inadequate transportation, being already in situ; and (7)they have skills in interpersonal relations, including counseling with empathy and concern. The author feels they could play a crucial role in fitting new ideas into the existing culture and suggests several ways the medicine men could become engaged in health problem-solving.
