THE VALUE OF ROOMING-IN EXPERIENCE IN PEDIATRIC TRAINING

[摘要] Rooming-in fellowship has been a fruitful period in which practical experience, research facilities and teaching opportunity have been well blended. This type of training combination is maximally effective only if there is a stable, directive nucleus to the study group which serves to orient the fellows and guide their research plan.Because of its emphasis upon the understanding of the total individual, rooming-in has fostered a more mature and sympathetic insight into the patient. The more one learns of behaviour, the more one is willing to accept deviations and to try to understand their causes. This consideration of the individual, with his own cultural milieu, family background and personal experience, will broaden our pediatric approach.
