the result seems to be a well balanced course including medical
education and experience in the community. The special experience of the Dean of Medicine during his service as DMHS in MHD will be

During the triennium the Institute of Medical and Health Care at the Polytechnic has been growing under the leadership of Dr. WHP Lewis. Courses have been started for a wide range of Diplomas and Higher Diplomas in the paramedical field - for medical laboratory technicians, physiotherapists, radiologists, occupational therapists, and, as evening courses, for ophthalmic opticians. More recently plans are being formulated to give training in teaching methods to nurses and senior members of other professions
supplementary to medicine who will be involved in teaching the clinical side of these Polytechnic courses another example of

UPGC has also been consulted, and has played, it is hoped, a useful
/role
