New Problems Arise.
The raising of standards, with consequent lengthening of the medical course and its increased cost to both individual students and to society, gives rise to a number of serious questions, the article sets forth. Some advocate shortening the combined elementary and secondary school period by two years, to reduce the age at which a physician may begin his career. Another suggestion is that more scholarships be granted to promising students. There is agitation for a shorter, less expensive type of training to maintain the supply of general practitioners, on the theory that many superficially trained doctors will settle in rural districts which now lack resident physicians. Many foresee a system of local hospitals serving surrounding areas by outpost dispensaries and visiting nurses.
While some differentiation may be expected between physicians who go into general practice immediately and those who pursue graduate studies in the specialties, there is no reason to suppose that in advanced countries standards of medical education will be lowered. The tendency at present is in quite the opposite direction.
