COMMUNICATION FROM DR. AMOS CHRISTIE

Editors: GROVER F. POWERS, M.D..

The following letter was addressed to Dr. Lee Forrest Hill, Chairman of the Committee on Education of the Academy. The editor welcomes comment on the subject.

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about the resident training program conducted by a number of pediatric services in the country and by children's hospitals. Having just made my own appointments for next year, I realize that many of the chiefs of services like our own at Vanderbilt fill their positions at the assistant and resident levels (second or third year) as early as October. This may not always be ill the best interest of either the service or the trainee.
