THE GENERAL PRACTITIONER IN A CHANGING WORLD.

Throughout the world there is need for physicians to render primary and continuing health care to individuals, families, and communities; and there is growing concern over the deficiency in the numbers of such doctors. In the U.S.A. there has been a decrease in the number of general practitioners and others who are in the best position to render this kind of service, and the number of medical graduates entering this field continues to decline. Many reasons for this state of affairs have been offered, but one fact stands out above all others: the majority of medical students wish to engage in a career of service and significance but are unwilling to become second-class physicians. If young men are to be recruited into family practice we must build for them a clinical and academic specialty in which research is being done, and in which they can obtain significant qualifications.

THE PRACTISING PHYSICIAN'S APPROACH TO THE EVALUATION OF NEW DRUGS.

Physicians have the difficult task of locating and evaluating information about the numerous new drugs that continually appear on the market, and this difficulty is magnified by the massive promotional efforts of pharmaceutical manufacturers. Doctors should use all possible sources of information, but the varied (and often subtle) forms of advertising must be recognized for what they are. Physicians also need to develop skill in interpreting clinical papers and in understanding a little of the uses and meanings of statistics. Most of all, they should have sufficient self-confidence to refrain from using any new drug until scientific evidence of its efficacy and safety is available.
