Medical applications of television—A survey

Abstract: A review is presented of the very wide range of medical, and biological research, situations in which television is coming to have a routine application or in which pilot trials of the use of television have been made. These applications are considered under the main headings of Diagnosis, Treatment, Organisation and Welfare, Research, and Teaching. The extent of usage varies between the routine, widespread application in radiology to the proposed and somewhat debated use for surveillance as an aid to efficient hospital organization. A critical appraisal is made of the experience so far gained from the use of television in teaching, and a general opinion is tentatively expressed about the present position of television with respect to medical applications. In the appraisal three points stand out from the evidence available: that television is of undoubted value for classroom demonstration of small detail, that a weight of subjective opinion is growing to state its value in other roles, and that objective validation experiments are needed to put all the various opinions to the test. Two such experiments have been made and the results are expected fairly soon. A comprehensive list of some 90 references is appended.

Postgraduate Education in Psychiatry for the Nonpsychiatric Physician: Recruitment

Abstract: Recruiting the nonpsychiatrist for postgraduate courses in psychiatry has been a major problem. Although feeling the need for appreciating the role of emotional factors in all illness, the nonpsychiatrist has not felt that postgraduate courses in psychiatry were tailored to this need or else has felt there were too many more important demands on his time. The author demonstrates how the former factor can be handled by involving a nonpsychiatrist in the design of the course from its beginning and how the latter factor can be met only by an expenditure of time and energy on the part of the recruiter.
