Medical education in Canada / J.A. MacFarlane, R.C. Dickson, Roger Dufresne, Harold Ettinger, John F. McCreary, J. Wendell MacLeod.: Z1-1961/3-1-2E-PDF
"This report on medical education will be primarily concerned with the medical profession, that is, with the education of physicians. But the physicians do not work in isolation, and cannot be trained in isolation, from many other groups. The practice of medicine today involves close partnership with other professions working in the health field. Therefore medical education today must be constantly related to the education and training of an ever increasing cadre of workers who are associated with physicians in the provision of health services. Moreover, it encompasses the three fields of undergraduate, graduate and continuing professional education. The goal is not the mere absence of disease or infirmity but the more positive quest of the greatest possible degree of physical, mental and social well-being"--Introduction.
