TRAINING IN MEDICINE
Post-Graduate
Work Urged
Post-graduate training in medicine was of the first importance in actively upholding the standards of medicine in the New Zealand community, said the Minister of Health (Mr McKay) in an address to the annual ceremony of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians yesterday evening. The college, he said, could often help solve problems of a medico-political nature. For example, there was the need to assess the numbers of physicians required now and in tiie years to come.
“It is gratifying to know that in the past year a joint committee of the three royal colleges in New Zealand has been set up, and that negotiations are under way between this committee and the British Medical Association," he said. “There can be no doubt that a to.p-Level committee, commanding respect and' confidence at large, can make a major contribution to the promotion of good medicine in this country.”
