meeting m.d in 6 years may be possible says st luke's chief of medicine bybillheumann there is the possibility that a six year program in medical education will be developed as a result of the recent for mation of the lehigh valley area health education center stated william r thompson m.d chief of the department of medicine at st luke's hospital thompson said the program would be set up so that a student could plan to receive an m.d degree in six years it would involve two years in an un dergraduate school two years in a medical school and two years in a medical hospital he said there would have to be an agreement between the three institutions involved so that if a student fulfilled the specifications he would be guaranteed a place at each level according to thomp son the objective of lvahec said thompson is to plan coordinate and implement educational programs in order to ensure high quality medical aid in the i-chigh valley a program of this sort would help in increasing the number of mils in the area he stated thompson said some people don't believe that a total of six years is enough lime to be trained but that all schools have been interested and are fertile soil lor the development of a program of this sort he added that the future development of a six-year program is going to depend a lot on the availability of money the money might come from the federal government he said but he sees the prospect of money coming from local sources as highly doubtful thompson described other areas of concern to lvahec for improving medical aid in the lehigh valley he said they want to organize viable and aggressive educational programs to do this they must achieve an ad ministrative structure that will require the hiring of a full-time professional coordinator thompson stated lvahec is concerned with the development and implementation of a patient care program according to thompson before implementing such a program lie said that there is a need to know if the program will give the best possible care the program can borrow concepts that have already been investigated and possibly improve upon them it can outline how methods can be im plemented and see that they are im plemented thompson stated lvahec wants to develop an emergency care education program according to thompson there are questions to be answered concerning emergency service he said such as should all hospitals have emergency rooms and should ambulance drivers be medically trained there is a family practice residence program already in exustence at sacred heart hospital in allentown thompson said which just hasn't gotten off ihe ground he said lvahec will support it the purpose is to have more physicians to handle the bulk of the medical problem thompson said and those
