Undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in diseases of the chest

It is our hope that eventually the teaching of tuberculosis will accompany the student throughout the four years of his medical school, not as an elective, but as a required course correlated with all his other subjects. In this instance, familiarity will breed not contempt but knowledge of, and respect for, a disease that thrives on ignorance. The success of the courses given was due directly to the enthusiasm and wholehearted cooperation of the Dean and Medical Board of the New York Medical College and the Medical Staff of the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanatorium.
