For the medical aspects of surgical patients are naturally thoroughly covered in a good general hospital, a fact which allows a surgical interne to carry the medical aspects of his case, as well as the surgical, during his surgical interneship. This means that a year of medical interneship is desirable although not absolutely necessary. Formerly the recent graduate associated himself for a number of years as an apprentice or assistant in private and public work to an older experienced surgeon and after a number of years he would have sufficient experience and contact with surgical conditions, to give himself confidence in his own individual efforts. This method was rather lengthy and often impossible to obtain because of the limited opportunities thus offered to large numbers of graduates. This difficulty has. in large part., been overcome by the well organized system of interneships geons established in a number of the best schools and hospitals in preferable method is to spend a well thought out number of years in conducted clinics, during which time the applicant acts as interne, and resident surgeon. during a period of at least five or more years and resident sur- this country. A one or more well assistant resident In the end such' a man is turned out a finished surgeon and able at the moment of leaving the hos- pital to take his stand in competition with the great majority of surgeons in most of the cornmunities in this country. ln other words, although the period of training may he looked upon as rather a long one, he obtains a concentrated experience during this time, welfare is assured him and at the end of his period of training he becomes an experienced, safe surgeon and is able to practice his science and art with a greater satisfaction to himself and certainly with better service to his patients. ln such a period of training liberal contact is afforded with the pathological and diagnostic features of surgical problems and while acting as assistant and later as independent operator under the guidance of experienced surgical teachers, surgical principles and practices are made so thoroughly a part of the young surrreon. that he will of necessity carry his surgical ideas and ideals with him throughout his own career and incidentally bring a good influence to any community and among his colleagues wherever he may choose to practice. A The Long lsland College Hospital is fortunate, in being able to offer to a limited number of medical graduates opportunities to get in contact with the field of general surgery and the resident system has already been productive of careful diagnostic methods, good records, useful for future medical publications, good care and treat- ment of surgical patients and opportunities for progressive training of younger surgeons, As an additional valuable course to the undergraduate in surgery, it is fervently hoped by the surgical department, that as soon as funds are available. to institute a class in operative surgery and an experimental laboratory in which teaching and research can be conducted on live animals. In other words, where the fundamental principles of surgery can be taught to the undergraduate student, in the same manner in which it must of necessity now be taught in hospitals after graduation. whenever such a class is unavailable for undergraduate instruction. This is the one additional course in surgery which, at the present time, is most desired by the surgical department. and to which we feel every undergraduate and graduate of the Long lsland College Hospital should give his ambition and effort.
