- Abstract
Traditional efforts in the law schools to improve interprofessional communication between the medical and legal professions have been confined to abstract case studies and other academic materials, sometimes augmented with visits and demonstrations by physicians in the classroom. This paper describes one approach to broaden the prespective of law students during their training by permitting them to experience directly the atmosphere of the teaching hospital and the sociology of surgery practice in that environment. The experiment has proved beneficial to the young members of both professions.
