Abstract
As a pediatric resident in constant contact with many capable and dedicated foreign physicians, I was disturbed by the condescending tone of Dr. Wedgwood's article on "The Education of Foreign Medical School Graduates" (Pediatrics, 46:760). Pediatrics is world-wide in distribution and read by many foreign house officers in the U.S.A. I think many fine physicians will be justly concerned at being labelled as "poorly trained physicians" who are "not desireable as house officers." Foreign physicians provide essential medical care to the people of our country in their capacity as house officers, private practitioners, comprehensive clinic staff, and as teachers and researchers in medical schools.
