Abstract
The teaching program to stimulate interest and increase the knowledge of cancer has fulfilled the following objectives: new methods of analysis of medical teaching effectiveness systematically explored on a national basis in order to attempt to document quantitatively the results of the cancer teaching program; improved cancer learning as evidenced by the results of the annual examination on the subject of cancer learning, from 1949-1957; additional teaching personnel whose main interest is in cancer added to the medical school faculty; the establishment of new research facilities; aid to other existing laboratories with expansion of their facilities; increased postgraduate instruction in neoplastic diseases; the establishment of student fellowships; and more people made aware of the magnitude of cancer and its impact on the human race.
