faculty members came into academia to
begin the first programs," Bobula said.
As the programs expanded and
multiplied across the country,
universities had to continue drawing
faculty from the ranks of practicing
physicians, he said. Few of these
individuals had been trained to assume
teaching, research and administrative
responsibilities, and had to learn instead
by trial and error.
"The whole thrust of the grant is to
help people to develop the skills needed to
be productive faculty members," Bobula
said. "And since we expect our staff will
do the bulk of the teaching in the four
workshops planned each year, well spend
the next six to 12 months helping them
improve their own teaching skills."

Iowa's College of Medicine for the past
three years, has been appointed project
coordinator.
Among other techniques, she will be
videotaping interactions between
residents and individual faculty members
to show the latter how they can improve
their instruction.
Bobula said the Kellogg grant also will
support two fellowships that the program
awards annually to physicians who are
considering careers as teachers of family
medicine. •
Consultants to smaller programs
In the future, the Duke-Watts staff will
act as consultants to smaller family
medicine programs that have participated
in the Durham workshops.
"We realize that with the tremendous
resources of the community and the
university behind us and through the
generosity of the Kellogg Foundation, we
have a very definite responsibility to
others," Bobula said.
The late W.K. Kellogg, founder of the
ready-to-eat breakfast cereal company
that bears his name, established the
foundation in 1930 "to help people help
themselves," as he expressed it.
From modest beginnings with
programs relating to the health and
educational needs of children in south-
central Michigan, the foundation has
grown to be one of the five largest private
philanthropic organizations in the United
States.
In the past 48 years, it has channeled
more than $435 million into efforts to
improve health, education and
agriculture.
Library guide issued
A "Duke University Library Guide for
Faculty and Graduate Students" has been
issued by the Perkins Library Reference
Department.
The 16-page pamphlet was written by
reference librarian Jane Vogel and
includes capsule descriptions of some of
the special areas and strengths of the
university libraries. Particularly useful is
the listing of a number of major
collections in microform.
The guide is available without cost at
the Perkins reference desk, or by calling
