Growth and Development . . . Although our University Hospital lacks a pediatric service, our training in this important area has not been lacking to the extent that the students occasionally indicate. It is perhaps due to the situation that the present seniors spent their training at both D. C. General Hospital and Children's Hospital that this has come about. The ap- pearance of a lack of continuity was a result of this split program with the accompanying difficulty in getting the attending men out to the various locations where the students were. In fairness to Dr. Howard, chairman of the department, the new program which has been initiated this year should alleviate any misgivings about the adequacy of the training in pediatrics. Beginning with this year all pediatric training will now be given at Children's Hospital. The service will be split between the wards and the outpatient department including the specialty clinics. Through our sophomore year we met the full de- partment, each member giving one or two lectures. Our junior rotation through pediatrics at D. C. General Hospital had some semblance of ordcrprimarily because of Dr. Sidney Levin, to whom we extend our sincerest gratitude. Our senior service at Children's Hospital was one of the highlights of the year. A new lecture schedule has been set up by the instructors there to orient students in the various aspects of pediatrics. Dr. jose Puig has been doing his best to organize the outpatient department and we are sure this will soon be accomplished. Dr. Artemis Simopoulos, anew member ofthe pediatric staff, was instrumental in expanding the teaching program to include rounds on the newborn service at GW and lectures on care of the newborn. She is also helping in the planning ofthe new wing on the hospital which will include pediatric surgery beds. I .J X ' ll i in D5 FIELD ,MARSHALL Dr. Robert H.
