Medical School

Big things are happening at DMS! If you do not already know it, the first candidates for a Dartmouth M.D. since 1914 will be admitted this coming fall. Moreover, the successful students will receive their degrees in 1973 after a three-year, eleven-month program. This innovation will cut one calendar year from the required training, with no loss in classroom contact, thereby providing one partial answer to the shortage of physicians.

Another big item - Announcement has just been received of a building grant of 5.4 million dollars! With the funds already available, this should permit initiation of the construction of facilities necessary for the M.D. program.
