I I Mellons Support Teaching Program The George Washington University School of Medicine's program to attract and develop promising young teachers is being furthered as the result of a $250,000 grant from The Richard King Mellon Charitable Trusts The University's School of Medicine is one of 23 privately supported medical schools in the country to share a total of $5,750,000 equally from the latest gift of the trustees of the Mellon family Trusts in Pittsburgh Medical Dean John Parks said "this generous gift comes to our school at a very opportune time It will permit us to augment our teaching staff as we expand our student elective program in the basic sciences for 1963-64." The Dean added "the assurance of $50,000 annual added resources for five years will give support for additional young medical scientists as they develop their capacities as teachers." The trustees of the Mellon family fund stated "there is an especially critical need for younger faculty members working in the basic sciences which constitute such an important foundation in medical education More than 800 unfilled posts exist today in medical faculties in the country, especially in the younger ranks This is the highest number on record We hope that these grants will make it possible to attract and stabilize the positions of the younger members of the staffs of these schools." The $5,750,000 gift makes a total of $23 million which has been contributed to medicine by Mr and Mrs Richard King Mellon since World War II Mr Mellon, a Pittsburgh financier, is Governor and President of T Mellon & Sons, an investment management firm There are 45 private medical schools in the United States Thus the Mellon grants will go to more than half of the total Sharing the $5,750,000 along with The George Washington University School of Medicine are the Colleges and Schools of Medicine at: Brown University, Duke University, Emory University, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, Marquette University, Northwestern University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh, University of Rochester, Stanford University, University of Southern

at a two day institute on teaching techniques held at the Medical School this spring The institute, part of the Educational Facilities Study at the Medical School being supported by Ford Foundation's Educational Facilities Laboratory, presented a series of lectures and demonstrations to show Medical School faculty how new teaching methods Keynote speaker for the two-day Institute was U.S Commissioner of Education Francis Keppel, who spoke on research In education From left, Medical Dean John Parks; Director of the Educational Facilities Study Thomas Peery; Commissioner Keppel and George Washington University President Thomas H Carroll E·PATIOO AND MEDI Leaders see the ma hine as a marvelous ally- to im communications between the patient and the ph n, the physician and the student, an the physician and the physician and new technical materials may help implement the new curriculum adopted by the Medical School Lectures by leaders in the field of basic education were followed by discussions of how these methods might apply to medical education Findings of the conference will determine construction and space design of classrooms as well as how to use new methods and equip}Dent Students and faculty attending the conference saw closed circuit television cameras and projectors, models and manikins, electronic test scorers, microfilm readers and printers, remote control facilities for using a variety of pieces of equipment, photographic equipment suitable for use in teaching and practice of medicine and every sort of variation of these items In addition they heard lecturers and Government leaders consider the patient and the new technology The physician, world citizen •• Some examples of objectives in medical education: The demonstration of attitudes towards one's fellow man and the profession, consistent with the tenets of a democratic society The demonstrations of knowledge and understanding of world conditions which make an effective world citizen The demonstration of sympathy for and awareness of all phases of medicine The demonstration of an attitude of scientitlc inquiry and intellectual curiosity In other words, these few examples indicate some larger image of the medical doctor which is related to general education and which goes beyond the daily tasks of medicine GERALD M TORKELSON Professor of Education, Pennsylvania State University The creative independent learner since life-time learning is a necessity for th~ able professional man, we should shift the role of the student from that of the imitative, dependent learner to that of the creative, inventive, independent learner Medical education, therefore, will put more emphasis on learning how to learn and on developing a zest for learning, a taste for EDGAR DALE learning, and a skill in learning Professor of Education, Ohio State University SUMMER 1963 The physician teaches the patient The patient comes to the local doctor's office or clinic or hospital for help Success or failure depends upon what that doctor knows and does for that particular patient and how that patient is able to use the help he gets, not only when he is in the doctor's presence but when he gets•away on his own FRANCIS KEPPEL U.S Commissioner of Education Department of Health, Education, and Welfare MR DISASTER-The Navy exhibited this life sized manikin who can simulate Injuries at the push of a bu/Ion Caring for the patient and caring for the doctor who wants to learn Our specific primary objective is an apparently simple insistence upon pivoting the entire plan on the needs of the physician as a lifetime student to reinforce the belief that the care of the patient begins with caring for the patient, continuing medical education plans wm have to prove this by precept in genuinely caring for the physician who wants to learn Such humanistic emphasis may become the lifeblood of a scientific profession by attracting to it young men and women whose humanistic values are now often ignored by an industrial society which appears to them in their formative years to reward only technologic achievements BERNARD V DRYER, M.D Planning Consultant, Association of American Medical Colleges Twenty-six exhibits and demonstrations were examined by those who al/ended the Institute Their reaction to these de1•ices may change teaching methods and Influence the archllec/11re of teaching accommodations at the School of Medicine CONSOLE TEACHING-Equipment here permits projection of solid objects, microscopic materials, live television and all kinds of still and moving film by an Instructor while giving a lecture HEART BEAT-Students In various areas can talk and receive sounds as faint as a heartbeat through equipment being demonstrated here PLASTIC PARTS - Faithfully reproduced plastic models give students accurate understanding of the human anatomy The student-patient relationship The clinical clerkship in medicine in the third year introduces the student to patients in a direct, responsible and carefully supervised association As the student is assigned a case he assumes definite duties which bring him in daily contact with his patient in the genuine role of junior doctor He therefore has an opportunity to explore his capacity as a healer, an opportunity to observe the extraordinary value of warmth, compassion and understanding These are not only fine humane responses but also qualities adding tremendous practical value to the management of sick people For under such an influence the patient not only cooperates more completely in treatment, but will give a much freer history This cannot be imparted in lectures or books Learning to take a good history is the chief objective of the teaching process in the clinical clerkship There is no skill in all medicine as important as the ability to take a good history It is an intellectual activity that calls for the utmost in perceptiveness and intuition combined with the most rigid scientific critique as to the validity of evidence DANA W ATCHLEY Professor of Clinical Medicine Emeritus Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons Those attending the conference also heard Surgeon General Luther Terry speak on studies of needs for a drug information center clearing house; and Mr Newton Minow, then Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, speak on communications between the medical profession and laymen SUMMER 1963 Mental Health Center AT THE uN1vERs1Tv HosP1TAL President Kennedy's message to Congress calling for comprehensive community care as "central to a new mental health program" designates diagnostic and care programs, almost all of which are available to some extent in the Hospital's psychiatric department When the Hospital's new Washington Circle building was opened in April 1948, officials assigned a complete service for patients who could benefit from short-term psychiatric care At present the teaching and courtesy staff of about 80 physicians minister to about 750 patients admitted for psychiatric care each year In addition they meet regularly with about 75 different patients who come to the out-patient psychiatric service for treatment by discussion Last year there were -1525 patient visits at the psychiatric clinic With the scheduled increase in clinic hours to include two evenings a week, it is expected about 2000 out-patient visits will be cared for annually symptoms related to emotional stresses including delayed convalescence, marital and job problems In addition, care and consultations are given the patient who is readjusting to a serious physical impairment such as loss of a limb, paralysis, blindness-or the consulting may be between the medical or surgical physician and the psychiatrist who may not find it necessary to treat the patient being rehabilitated Children are seen for diagnosis and referral service provides some assistance in most of the areas listed in the President's message: "diagnostic and evaluation services, emergency psychiatric units, out-patient services, in-patient services, day and night care, foster home care, rehabilitation, consultative services to other community agencies, and mental health information and education." At present the Hospital's assistance in foster home care is advisory, and emergency care is limited to the general emergency room from which appropriate referral is made Care and diagnosis is available for a broad variety of needs involving a patient's unhappiness, relationships with others, physical Occasionally a child doing poorly in school may through examination be found to be mentally able or even superior and referred to facilities for treatment of physical causes, for psychiatric discussions between physician and parents, for psychotherapy If the school situation is unfavorable for a particular child to function, referral at the University Hospital may be made to the Agnes Bruce Greig School which has recently affiliated with the University Hospital's psychiatric department In keeping with modern psychiatric principles the University Hospital's psychiatric department accepts only voluntary patients No commitment or involuntary admission to the University Hospital is permitted The department's facilities include light, attractively decorated bedrooms, lounges A collection of books is arranged on open shelves where patients may browse and select-and, as sometimes happens, add to the collection Treatment and consulting rooms are so arranged that patients find them convenient and even inviting Throughout, a fine collection of originals and reproductions of paintings, donated in part by the Hospital Women's Board, helps to create a pleasant place for patient care SUMMER 1963 Furthermore, the University Hospital's psychiatric THE COURIER

and Mrs Karl Lt1gnt1r Hospital and comfort of the patients In 1902 when the interior of the old Hospital was reconstructed and an addition built, efforts of the Board largely furnished the entire structure During the years of leadership given by past presidents honored in May, the Board has assisted the Hospital in many ways When the present hospital building was completed in 1948, the Board raised about one sixth of the funds to equip it In addition the Board has provided surgical beds, bedside units for all private rooms and some wards, X-ray and cardiograph machines; has helped establish a nose and throat dispensary, refurnished the nurses' dining room and internes' quarters and established a book service for patients The Women's Board is now in its fifteenth year of publishing The Courier, a quarterly magazine to inform the community and the University's medical alumni around the world of current developments at the University Hospital The Board maintains a gift
