Training At The Suva School
THE June issue of “The Medical Journal of the Assistant Medical Practitioner Service” serves again to demonstrate the excellence of the work being done by the Central Medical School. Suva.
To this institution there come selected natives of half the Territories of the Pacific, to undergo the four years’ course which, if they are otherwise found suit able, qualifies them to receive the Dip loma of Assistant Medical Practitioner.
The Journal is produced for the graduates and students of the School.
Among the news items in this well edited and well-printed magazine is the announcement that the long-overdue building of the new Medical School, on the hills overlooking Laucala Bay (and only about half a mile from the Hospital) will be commenced soon, and that this institution, as well as a new Central Nurs ing School and a new Maternity Block, should be ready for use in 1952.
Half the articles in this issue of the Journal are written in impeccable Eng lish, and with an apparent grasp of medi cal science—by native practitioners, mostly Fijians and Polynesians.
