Author Description

Excerpt from Postgraduate Courses in Clinical Medicine, 1973-1974 The Columbia postgraduate program enables practicing physicians, in general medicine and in the various specialties, to renew and continue their educational experiences in fields where medical research and daily clinical observations present constantly changing concepts of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease states. It must be stressed that the program is not intended to meet the needs of the physician who seeks to become a specialist. Nor is it intended to provide the foreign-trained physician with a broad understanding of medicine in the United States. These objectives are best achieved by residency training or by long-term, full-time courses. Information concerning residency training can be obtained by Writing to the appropriate departmental chairman in the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
