Abstract
IN addition to the usual summary of the present position of many aspects of medical research, the report of the Medical Research Council discloses that steps have been taken during the past year to develop the Council's policy of establishing senior clinical posts for whole-time work in research and higher teaching, such as will give a satisfactory career in later life to young men who devote themselves to the scientific study of clinical problems. The Council already supports, in whole or in part, three clinical research units in London, at University College Hospital, Guy's Hospital and the National Hospital for Diseases of the Nervous System. Reference is made to the establishment of a department of clinical research at Cambridge, under the regius professor of physic, in which research students are supported by the Elm ore Fund, and to Lord Nuffield's gift to the University of Oxford for the development of research and post-graduate teaching in medical science.
