Aniyan Speaks To Campus Club Nearly 100 members of the Duke Campus Club—wives of faculty and staff members-were guests of the medical center for a coffee, talk and tour the morning of March 12. The speaker was Dr. William G. An iyan, associate provost for medical af fairs, who told the women that at Duke "the highest priority is what is best for a particular patient. What's better for education and research take a second priority." The Duke Medical Center, and what it consists of. Dr. Aniyan said, is some times confusing. Components include Duke Hospital, the Schools of Medicine and Nursing, the private diagnostic cli nics and Highland Hospital, Duke's psy chiatric facility in Asheville. Duke also operates the 500-bed VA Hospital in Durham, he noted. He referred to the medical center as "a training ground that houses nearly 1,500 learners." These include 331 medical students, 268 nursing students, almost 300 train ees in allied health professions, more than 100 persons studying for docto rates in basic sciences but residing in the medical center, more than 400 interns, residents and fellows in graduate medi cal education and about 35 students in the hospital administration program. Duke Hospital provides a large a- mount of indigent care, Dr. Aniyan ex plained, noting that 38 per cent of the hospital's surgery beds and 33 per cent of those under the department of medi cine are occupied by indigent patients. Following the talk, the club members were taken on conducted tours of the medical center to areas including a delivery room, nurseries, the hyperbaric chamber and the Allen Memorial Cha pel. Emmett Kelly, Jr.To Visit Kids April 9 World-famous clown Emmett Kelly, Jr., will visit pediatric wards at the medical center April 9.
