Experimental Duke Pro/ecf Begins Here An experimental program which is providing 11 students from small colleges with intensive training in the basic medical sciences is underway this summer at the Medical Center with the assistance of a $77,250 three-year grant from the Josiah Macy, Jr., Foundation of New York City. The purpose of the program, according to Dr. Melvyn Lieberman, project coordinator, is to provide these students with experience in the pre-clinical science courses they could expect to find in medical school. "At the present time it is very difficult for a student in a small- college not associated with a medical school to receive such training," Dr. Lieberman said, "but by spending a summer here, a prospective medical student will be able to decide if he really wants to pursue a career in medicine or one of the related health fields.” The program, which includes nine college seniors and two students who will be freshmen at Duke Medical School this fall, is made up of lectures on anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry, participation in campus seminars, and individual laboratory research with supervision of a member of the medical faculty. Dr. Lieberman explained that the program was organized primarily to provide students from minority groups with an educational opportunity not previously available to them.
