8 Med Students Medical Technology Class Begins Clinical Practice (continued from page one) and laboratory sessions and one in clin ical work. The third and fourth years are made up of electives in both basic and clinical sciences. First-semester freshman courses include anatomy, physiology, bi ochemistry, neurological sciences and hu man behavior. The four major purposes of the new curriculum, according to Dr. Long, are to provide relief to the overload of infor mation to which medical students have long been subjected, to emphasize meth- odology and understanding of biological principles, to encourage an attitude of intellectuality and scholarship as a foun dation for later learning experiences and to enable a student to make an earlier decision concerning his future career and direct his medical education more spec ifically to that end. Included in Duke's new medical class are 12 students enrolled in the unique Medical Scientist Training Program which permits a student to pursue an M.D. de gree and a Ph.D. in basic science simul taneously with both degrees awarded within six to seven years. Another fresh man has enrolled in the Medical Historian program which provides for an M.D. de gree and a Ph.D. in history within a peri od of approximately six years. At Duke as elsewhere in the country, more applications were submitted to the medical school than ever before. The trend toward more applicants is expected to continue, according to the report by the Association of American Medical Col leges, because of the rise in the number of Americans in the graduate-school age group, the present Selective Service sys tem and the continued popularity of the health professions. The Duke Medical Admissions Office reports that applications for next year's class number nearly 100 more than the total at this time last year. Present plans call for continuation of the 86-student limit for the Duke freshman class until more space for classrooms and labora tories is created. Students in the M.D.-Ph.D. scientist program include Nicholas Theodore Car- nevale of Arizona, Paul J. Sides Jr. of Kentucky, Richard Ivan Schiff and Rich ard Atlee Weisiger of Maryland, Dale Le- Roy Kessler of Michigan, Clifford George Andrew of Missouri, Miss Pamela Zoe Bowes of New York, Glenn C. Davis of North Carolina, John Kling Herpel and Lee Alan Sanders of Pennsylvania, John Twenty students from 14 states make lip this year's class at the Duke Univer sity School of Medical Technology. The trainees, who began their course work in July, are now participating in clinical laboratory rotation through the microbiology, chemistry, hematology and ■urology laboratories and the blood banks of both the Duke and the Veterans Administration hospitals. In addition to their laboratory work, the students receive regular lecture and laboratory session in a variety of basic medical science courses. Following com pletion of the 12-month program, the graduates take the national registry exam ination and upon passage are certified as registered medical technologists with the American Society of Clinical Patholo gists. The Duke Medical Technology pro gram, reorganized in 1964 under the dire ction of Dr. Thomas D. Kinney and associate director Dr. A. Wendell Musser, Faulkner Morrow of Tennessee and Ar nold S.
