In discussing this subject, “The Place of Psychiatry in Medical Education,” one needs to consider various aspects of a wide field. First there is the education of the student in the medical school in both the pre-clinical and clinical years. Next we have to deal with post-graduate education, including the value of the mental hospitals, the psychiatric clinics, and the general hospitals, etc., in this regard. Then we have to consider the education that leads to research in our field—such research, for instance, as the relation ship of the endocrine glands to the nervous system, the field of bio-chemistry, the matter of heredity and of eugenics. There is also the subject of “menta hlygiene” —a that is rather loosely applied, but should include the educational aspect of psychiatry. Lastly, there is the preventive aspect of the subject.
