AB ARMY 
    TRAINING COURSES AVAILABLE IN CIVILIAN INSTITUTIONS 
    Training courses ranging in length from five months to a year to be given in specified civilian institutions during the fiscal year 1950 are now being offered to qualified Regular Army personnel, the Surgeon General has announced, as a development of the Medical Department's Career Guidance Plan evolved two years ago. The subjects include most of the medical and allied science fields at leading universities, colleges, hospitals and foundations. The Surgeon General's Office intends to train personnel whose records and aptitudes show them best qualified to draw the maximum benefits from advanced study. The program, tentatively established in twenty-five civilian institutions, has a twofold aim: to insure advancement in their respective specialties to each of the officers selected and to integrate the best of civilian medicine with military medicine. Information for applicants is set forth in SGO circular 134 dated Nov. 16,
