The U.S

I appreciate the opportunity to review the letter from Dr. Posner. He makes some important points regarding opportunities in the Indian Health Service (IHS). The Committee on Indian Health is well aware of the excellent opportunities for training in the IHS and has been active in attempts to recruit students and physicians, particularly pediatricians, to the IHS. Information outlining the opportunities for medical students on elective periods and for house officers in training has been provided by the Committee to the dean of each medical school and director of each pediatric training program in the U.S. and Canada.
