Abstract
THE London Medical Students' Committee of the National Union of Students was formed shortly after the War began. The first important action which the committee took was to get the status of medical students defined by the Ministry of Health. Up to this time hospital authorities and the Ministry of Health both disclaimed responsibility. The position is now clearly that medical students have no obligations to the Ministry, and vice versa. A request was received recently from one of the northern universities that the London Committee should organize a conference on medical student life and work. The Committee is accordingly arranging a meeting to discuss the teaching of medicine and the methods of study, which, it is hoped, will be held in a Midland university in May. The conference will be divided into three main sections. The first part will be devoted to the pre-clinical student, the second to the clinical student, and the third to the newly qualified doctor.
