BIOCHEMISTRY:

A now Department of Biochemistry should now

be dovoloped, not by any moans subordinatod

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 continue. The staff that might be adequate would be : 1. Frofessor 1 Lecturer (Senior) 1. Lectirer and two or more demonstrators.

PHYSIOLOGY:

The touching of Biochemistry has hitherto

fallen to this Department. A separate Dopart-

ment is now proposed. The importance of a study of nutrition kas

booz emphasized only lately in many parts of the world, md

clearly the experience of the Japanors occupation and experience

of internment in Japanese Camps in the minds of Hong Kong pooplo,

has given it an undue importanes. How nutritional studies are

to bo intigrated with the Departments of Physiology, Biochemistry

and Freventive Medicine is rather a matter of expediency than of

principle. A lectureship is shown hero among the posts in the

Physiology Department. The staff should be:

SURGERY:

1

Professor

2 Lecturers

1 Lecturer (nutrition)

Demonstrators.

The staff required depends in part on the size

of the clusses and therefore of the number of

groups into which they must be divided for clinical teaching and

demonstrations.

1 Professor

1 Lecturer Opthalmology

2 Senior LecturerS 1 Lecturer (Ear, Nose

1 Lecturer Orthopaedics
