The nearby premature nursery, which has a separate staff, is divided into five areas, one of which is used solely by the staff and two of which are used for isolation of suspect cases. It is supervised by one or more specially trained nurses. There is space available to care for I4 premature infants, although this number exceeds the usual census. Both nurseries have an adequate number of incubators, isolettes and rocker-beds. One pediatric resident, assisted by an intern and supervised by a staff man, is in charge of both nurseries. A large and well-staffed pediatric outpatient clinic is main- tained in a separate area. It includes seven examining rooms, plus two staff offices with examining facilities. One full-time staff man, one part-time staff man, one or two residents and two to three interns maintain the care of the clinic. Residents or interns assigned to other pediatric branches may be added as needed, providing it does not interfere with their other duties. One hundred fifty to 200 patients a day are seen here, by appointment or on a walk-in basis. In addition, there is a separately located well-baby clinic four afternoons a week for babies under one year. This is directed by the nursery resident under staff supervision.

There is also a weekly pediatric orthopedic clinic run jointly by the Pediatric Department and the Chief of Orthopedics. The Pediatric Residency Training Program aims to provide each resident a well-rounded experience in all phases of clinical pediatrics. The residentis time is divided among the heretofore described branches. In the course of a year he will have seen and treated practically all of the major pediatric diseases and conditions, including many of the rarer ones as well. The program is planned and equipped for two years. In addition to the formal teaching periods, there is con- tinual informal teaching of the interns by the residents and staff and of the residents by the staff. The U. S. Naval Hospital, San Diego, because of its staff, facilities and geographic location, acts as a diagnostic and treatment center for pediatric problem cases from other serv- ice activities covering a very broad area. Along with the very large number of service dependents in the San Diego area, this provides the service with a continual supply of excellent teaching cases as well as an abundance of the more routine type of case. All but a selected few patients under 13 years of age are admitted to the Pediatric Serviceggiving the residents opportunity to follow a wide variety of allied pediatric conditions. f is SICK CALL: Left to right: Lieut.
