THE PEDIATRICIAN AND THE PUBLIC

PAUL HARPER M.D.

Editors: EDWARDS A. PARK, M.D..

The recommendations that federal tax funds be used for the support of pediatric education which were prepared by the Committee for Improvement of Child Health and approved by the Executive Board of the American Academy of Pediatrics are supported with the following reservations:

a. The recommendations of the Academy should acknowledge the need to strengthen the entire field of medical education while maintaining the Academy's qualification to speak for the pediatric aspects.

b. The recommendations should more clearly emphasize the desirability of extending medical training by an affiliation between outlying hospitals and medical centers. The purpose is more and better training in pediatrics for general practitioners as well as for pediatricians.

c. The recommendations should be amended to strengthen the position of the proposed advisory council on medical education and to require that there shall be no interference with academic freedom to develop medical education and to investigate disease.
