Abstract

the presentation by Dr. Solomon Axelrod, the comments by the two panelists, and the remarks by the audience and Dr. Falk. Unlike the polemics surrounding the topic of research, Dr. Axelrod's historical review of medical care education raised only one major exception. It was suggested that his chapter entitled the "Decade of Decline," be renamed the "Era of Change in Emphasis." For the decline in number of medical care students, which characterized the fifties, was offset by an increase in the number of students of hospital administration. This shift in category of students can be explained, in large measure, by the increasing activity in the voluntary health system generally, and in the voluntary hospital specifically. It was this decade of the fifties which produced new medical care concepts, such as home care; it was also about this time that studies in the quality of institutional medical care were being carried out. Both were designed and implemented in the voluntary hospital. Related to the types of studentshealth care, medical care, or hospital administration-is the issue of what these students are being taught, or what they should be taught.
