SM Alumni Offered
Specialty Refreshers
A two- day schedule of refresher courses will head off the Alumni
Postgraduate Convention set for March 11 to 17 in Los Angeles.
The convention is sponsored annually by the Loma Linda Univer
sity School of Medicine Alumni Association and faculty as a service
to University graduates.
Attendance is not restricted
to graduates of the University,
however, emphasizes Samuel H.
Fritz, SM' 48, associate professor
of surgery and general chair
man of the convention's gover
ning board. All physicians and
medical students in southern
California are invited to attend
the refresher courses, scientific
exhibits, and scientific assembly
programs of the convention.
Seventeen Courses
Seventeen courses in ten ma
jor specialties have been sched
uled for March 13 and 14 at
the White Memorial Medical
Center. " Each morning or after
noon course is complete in it
self," Dr. Fritz explains, " but
the courses were planned so that
each series gives a concentrated,
integrated exposure to the par
ticular specialty."
Major specialties included in
this year's course offerings are
internal medicine, surgery,
gynecology and obstetrics, or
thopedics, anesthesia, ophthal
mology, radiology, otolaryngol-
, business management, and
religion.
Smith, Kline, and French
Laboratories will sponsor closed
circuit color television coverage
of the proceedings of the cours
es, according to Henry L. Had-ley,
SM' 46, clinical professor of
urology and chairman of the
refresher course committee.
Members of the Academy of
General practice may receive
credit for the courses, Dr. Had-ley
adds.

ities will report the latest devel
opments in their fields during
the three- day scientific assembly
at the Ambassador Hotel, Los
Angeles, March 15 to 17.
The scientific program is sup
ported by a grant from the
Merck Sharp & Dohme post
graduate program. The assem
bly programs may also be
viewed on closed circuit tele
vision.

research advances throughout
the convention. Chairman of the
