Dr. Stone raises a number of pertinent items in his letter. However, it should be pointed out that he had contact only with first- and second-year child health associates who had completed approximately half or less of their training. As do all medical practitioner students, child health associates first need to acquire a data base which can then be used in developing diagnostic and interpretive clinical skills. Clinical experience in the practice of medicine is often required before the student can separate normal from abnormal, and the esoteric from the commonplace.
