Training pediatricians for primary medical care

[摘要] A recent issue of this Journal carried the Kenneth G. Blackfan Memorial Lecture delivered to the Children's Hospital Alumni Association in Boston on May 30, 1973.1 It was given by Dr. Cicely Williams and entitled "Health Services in the Home." In her message directed at pediatric academia, Dr. Williams essentially said, "Be off with your ultrascience, your superspecialists ... Give thought instead to the thousands who are sick ... Teachers, stop seducing the very best into your snare of enzymes, isotopes and transducers, leaving only a small group to replace our dwindling cohort of primary care deliverers."That very same issue carried a commentary entitled "Primary Medical Care and Medical Research Training" by Dr. David G. Nathan of the Children's Hospital Medical Center.2
