ISOLATION, there Is no intention to grant
accreditation to hospital training pro-
grams which continue to use these
doctors as interns, although possibly
there may be reviews in individual
cases. Those who failed the tests last
year were given second crack at the
exams in April. Assuming that the well
fare Of patients in hospitals must be the
primary consideration, there is not a
great deal more that can be done.
There are at least two bright sides
to the results Of the April tests, however
First, although there were 1,646 failures,
some 3,709 other foreign doctors in this
country satisfactorily or conditionally
received passing grades.
The second bright side is that the
April tests also were taken by about
$500 other physicians in their own
countries abroad-more than double the
number of tests taken overseas last year.
This, Of course, is the real solution. If
the qualifications for service in Ameri-
can hospitals are established before the
doctors come to these shores, problems
of the type which occurred last Decem-
ber will not arise again. This can be
accomplished in the future if the State
Department will grant visas for medical
training in this country only after the
eligibility for training is determined.
