Abstract
It is the responsibility of the medical schools of our country to produce competent first contact medical practitioners after six years of training. These doctors should be able to diagnose and give adequate initial treatment to 99o/o of the unscreened medically related problems presented to them. The confidence to do this will rest upon the appropriateness of their scientific training.
