MEDICAL SCHOOLS
Visit by N.Z. party Two members of the Medical Council of New Zealand will visit medical schools and teaching hospitals in Sri Lanka, Singapore and Hong Kong later this month. They are the chairman of the council, Mr N. F. Greenslade, a Christchurch urologist, and Professor Cecil Lewis, Dean of the Auckland Medical School. Mr Greenslade said that the visit, lasting a month, would be a “familiarisation tour” of areas where the connections with New Zealand were continuing to increase, and w’here New Zealand was accepting a greater medical role. “With the increasing movement of doctors about the world, it is important to know the standard of training in medica’ schools in the countries from which doctors come to New Zealand,” said Mr Greenslade. “It is the function of the medica! council to ensure that doctors coming here are adequately trained and that they have a reasonable command of English.”
