Abstract

T first glance the diagram shown on this page seems very symmetrical and not particularly interesting. In general, the two wings seem much alike. It is only after close scrutiny that we see how much this picture really tells of what has been happening in the past three years. Three years ago, the Grading Committee published a diagram similar to the left wing of this one; now the necessary data have been gathered to add the right wing to the picture. The diagram shows the per cent of schools in 1929 and in 1932 which were providing experience for their students in 22 segregated services. A school was included whether the service was provided at home or through affiliation. No account was taken of length of time spent on a service. Even one student on a service for a couple of days was sufficient to credit a school with that service, so the figures are probably somewhat high. Practically all schools both in 1929 and in 1932 gave experience in the operating room, obstetrics, and in night duty. Diet kitchen experience is almost universal now, and so is pediatrics. In 1929, however, only 88 per cent of the schools provided training in pediatrics. About 10 per cent more schools are giving experience in segregated medical and surgical services now than three years ago. However, only in these six main services and in night duty are as many as half the schools providing experience for their students. Most schools still offer a relatively small variety of services.
