hrom Hippocrates on aown, tne student has occupiea an important place in the medical pecking order. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the modern teaching hospitals of our medical schools and clinic centers, which are literally student-centered. Vesalius' anatomy lesson has given way to a more complete and sophisticated teaching regimen whose aim, although similar in scope, is much more complete in effect. While vestiges of the Herr Professor classic tradition remain, today's medical student is apt to find himself an integral part of his university's medical picture; and, as such, he is able to contribute to its well-being in the course of his training. Although the vast body of medical knowledge remains on the infinite side of the intellectually possible and its component disciplines as obscure as ever to the uninitiated, today's young student of medicine may well echo Dylan Thomas and Sing in his chains like the sea.
