THIS large volume contains the Proceedings of the Second World Conference on Medical Education held in Chicago in 1959. It is the second volume devoted to medical education, and it cannot fail to interest medical teachers the world over, for it provides medical opinion on this subject from some 66 countries and 179 medical schools.
Medical education has many facets, especially postgraduate medical education, and all these many facets have been considered in the various papers presented before this conference.
Sir George Pickering talks ably about the advanced training for general and specialty practice and the problem as to what is needed to encourage a man to continue to educate himself during the whole of his professional life; will he need educational boosts from time to time, and, if so, in what form and for how long ? Many speakers have pointed out the serious consequences of divorcing the general practitioner from hospitals. This separation, more complete and permanent each day, has made it difficult, if not impossible, for the general practitioner to keep informed on medical advances, which have been so rapid in the last decades.
Sir Francis Fraser gives a very mature and practical lecture on the administrative and organizational methods and techniques useful in continuing medical education.
Victor Coppleson, of Australia, gives an excellent summary of the advanced training for general and specialty practice.
As a reference volume this book will be used in all countries where medical education exists.
