BIOCHEMISTRY:
A new Department of Biochemistry should now
be developed, not by any means subordinated.
to the requirements of other Departments of the Faculty of
Medicine, but capable of producing work of wider scope, The
initial staff would be:
ANATOMY:
1 Professor
1 Lecturer and Demonstrators.
Very ample materials have always been avail-
able for the study of Histology and Embryology and is expected to continuo. The staff that might be adequate would be: 1. Professor 1 Lecturer (Senior) 1. Loctirer and two or more demonstrators.
PHYSIOLOGY:
The teaching of Biochemistry has hitherto
fallen to this Dopartment. A soparato Depart-
ment is now proposed. The importance of a study of nutrition has
been emphasized only lately in many parts of the world, and
clearly the oxperience of the Japanese occupation and experience
of internment in Japanese Camps in the minds of Hong Kong people,
has given it an undue importance. How nutritional studies are
to bo intigrated with the Departments of Physiology, Biochemistry
and Preventive Medicine is rather a matter of expediency than of
principle. A lectureship is shown here among the posts in the
Physiology Department. The staff should be:
SURGERY:
1
Professor
2 Lecturers
1 Lecturer (nutrition)
Domonstrators.
The staff required depends in part on the sizo
of the classes and therefore of the number of
groups into which they must be divided for clinical teaching and
demonstrations.
The Minimum requirements would appear to be:
1 Professor
1 Lecturer Opthalmology
2 Senior Lecturers 1 Lecturer (Ear, Nose
and throat)
1 Lecturer Orthopaedics 1 Lecturer
Anaesthetics.
