CHAIR OF CHILD HEALTH URGED
“Gap In Medical Education" (N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Nov. 6. A professional chair of child health in New Zealand was urged today by Mrs H. J. Ryburn, Dominion president of the Plunket Society. Mrs Ryburn said the need was urgent. Other Commonwealth medical schools, even those which served a much smaller population than New Zealand, had well established chairs of child health. She said authorities agreed that such a professorial post was absolutely necessary for the proper education of medical students in paediatrics, and the Finlay Commission drew the Government’s attention to this gap in medical education in 1958. “The Plunket Society, as part of the New Zealand service in child health, urges the Government and others responsible to fill this notable gap in medical education at the earliest possible moment,” Mrs Ryburn said.
