Excerpt from Pediatrics, Orthopedic Surgery, Vol. 4
Plan for a Graduate Course in Pediatrics for General Practitioners. A Department of Pediatrics offering instruction to graduates, says J. L. Morse, should be prepared to give courses of five different types in order to meet the needs of various classes of students. These courses should be planned for general practitioners who wish to improve their general knowledge of pediatrics and to become acquainted with the recent advances in the subject; for general practitioners or recent graduates who wish to become specialists in pediatrics, but not teachers or investigators; for those who wish to become teachers and investigators as well as specialists in pediatrics; for general practitioners living in the vicinity who wish to familiarize themselves with pediatrics; for specialists in pediatrics who wish to undertake special investigations.
Only the first type of course is considered here. It should be continuous throughout the year and so arranged that physicians may enter or leave it at any time. Necessarily, the work must be largely clinical, given partly in the wards in the hospitals and partly in out-patient departments. Special attention should be paid to the newer developments in pediatrics. It is important to have a systematic course of lectures given as a part of the work. Chief stress should be laid on details, the newer developments in pediatrics, and new methods of treatment. Provision should be made for instruction in ordinary clinical laboratory methods, covering examinations of blood, urine, stools and cerebrospinal fluid. The physicians taking this course should also be given an opportunity to see the working of a good social service department and of infant welfare clinics or milk stations. They should also be told what to read.
