Abstract: | The current interest in medical education and the proposed expansion of medical education facilities have stimulated the development of a research program by the secretariat of the Association of Canadian Medical Colleges. The projects planned and now in progress include: (1) studies of the cost of medical education in Canadian teaching hospitals and medical schools; (2) a study of the basic medical science departments in Canada with special reference to the occupational careers of scientists who have received M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in those departments; (3) establishment of a student registry to facilitate prospective studies of Canadian medical students; (4) a survey of the residents in training in Canadian hospitals to obtain their evaluation of their training experience. |
