FOREIGN DOCTORS.
DOMINION INFLUX.
ATTITUDE OF COUNCIL.
PRESIDENT'S EXPLANATION. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, this day. "If there is any threat of a large influx of foreign doctors into the Dominion, the medical council will certainly have to consider the position.'* stated Dr. Xewlands, president of the council, to-day. The council, he added, would either require them to take a full six-year course here, or bar them from practising. Dr. Xewlands was referring to the influx of Herman Jew doctors expelled by the Hitler purge, and stated that the present position in Xew Zealand was as was now proposed in Australia, namely, that they attend three years at the Otago Medical School, passing the final three examinations before admission to the Xew Zealand register. That had been the position, he said, for two years, prior to which such foreign doctors had been compelled merely to attend the medical school and sit for the final examination. Dr. Xewlands stated that there were four doctors on the Dominion register at present under the former qualification.
