AB This volume is one of a series of reports designed to explore the need for a state university including professional schools in New York State. A technical committee was appointed to survey the professional personnel and training situation in the state. Studies were undertaken in this connection of physicians and medical schools, dental personnel and schools, and nurses and schools of nursing, based largely on data for 1945-1946, but in appropriate instances including available 1946-1947 figures. Data compiled in earlier studies by various legislative commissions were also utilized in the report.The committee has given consideration to the concept of medical centers in health service regions and has emphasized the important influence which the medical school may exert on the standards of medical practice throughout the section of the country in which it is located.At the outset the committee points out that its data are insufficient to be considered
