MEDICAL SCHOOLS AS RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL ENTERPRISES In academic year 1968-1969, 85 four-year medical schools and six approved two-year schools providing preclinical training were in operation. Eight additional schools that had not yet been certified for approval had opened their doors, and 17 four-year schools were in various stages of development, from being about to accept their first classes to advanced planning on the drawing boards.

The total number of basic sciences faculty personnel bears almost a one-to-one relationship to the total number of graduate students in the system, while the ratio of arts and sciences faculty personnel to students is close to one-to-three. This should not suggest an excessive faculty-staffing pattern in the medical schools since the basic sciences faculties have primary responsibility for the instruction of medical students as well as for the conduct of research and graduate education.

At the same time, research in the preclinical departments of medical schools is at the leading edge of many scientific frontiers. Indeed, a medical school, in its entirety, constitutes a rather unique system in which scientists in the preclinical departments can remain au courant with the advancing edges of the biological, physical, and social sciences, translate these for their clinical colleagues, and collaborate with the latter in both clinical research and relevant fundamental research that are also part of the education of graduate, medical, and postdoctoral students.

The engineering school cannot behave quite analogously except by virtue of the consulting activities of the engineering faculty, which provide contacts with industrial organizations in Position to utilize and exploit recent research findings. It is, perhaps, unfortunate that there are few equivalent built-in mechanisms within the university for assuring that the research endeavors of academic physicists, chemists, sociologists, economists, or attorneys can equally rapidly be tested and put into practice for the benefit of society.
