Excerpt from Associate Training Programs in the Medical and Biological Sciences at the National Institutes of Health: 1971 CatalogWard activities are under immediate supervision of competent clinical investigators, and include a wide variety of rounds, conferences, and other instructive exercises. Proximity to the patient's bedside of collabo rating scientists from many biological disciplines has created an unusual opportunity for clinical investigation at the nih Clinical Center. The environment of the Clinical Center is also enriched by the presence of medical students from country-wide medical schools with whom the Clinical Associate has close association and shares patient care responsibilities.Clinical Associates are not in formal residency training programs, even though they may be performing many of the same functions that resi dents do in other hospitals. Some Associates appointed to Dermatology, Neurology, and Psychiatry programs are recommended for a limited amount of residency credit by their respective program chiefs. Associates in positions that provide further training in Internal Medicine also may receive credit upon application to the American Board of Internal Medicine.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
