LÆKNABLAÐIÐ
Many years ago a wise old
friend pointed out to me tliat
there are only two ways of get-
ting a donkey to move — liold
a carrot in front of him or ap-
ply a stiek behind. I deprecate
the use of a stick so I am per-
suaded that somehow or other
we must find the right carrot.
It is perhaps difficult to see how
this is to be accomplished partic-
ularly wlien the rewards of
practice are so often measured
not so much by the quality of
the service given as by the
number of patients treated.
In my remarks I have tried
to sketch for you the broad
aspects of Post Graduate study
— each and every facet of tliis
could be the suhject of a sepa-
rate paper. The important thing
I believe which we have to learn
from this review wliich I have
tried to give is tliat Post Grad-
uate education to-day is of
fundamental importance to
every doctor, tliat it is some-
thing which is so complex as
to demand organization and
that when we are trying to de-
vise some Post Graduate activ-
ity we must arrange it against
tlie hackground of tlie whole
plan and in co-operation with
the many, many interests wliich
are involved.
