THIS is a report of the plan for teaching basic pediatric pathology in connection with ward teaching during clinical clerkships, which has been in use for several years in the Pediatric Department of the State University of New York at Syracuse. Its success as one of the most practical ways of drawing the preclinical basic sciences closer to actual patient care may be of interest to teachers, either in pathology or on the wards, who feel that there is still too wide a gap between the preclinical years and the clinical teaching years. This problem has been one of long recognition and concern, varying in degree and intensity in different settings dependent in a large measure on the background in basic science training and experience of the clinical teachers.
Faculty Opinions recommendation of Actionable recommendations from trainees to improve science training.
