New Medical School Project- A Clinic for Migrant Workers

Through the summer and fall, doctors, dentists, nurses , and medical students from the University's School of Medicine and Dentistry spent two evenings a week working under the glare of bare light bulbs in a small clinic with stark white walls at the edge of an apple grove. These volunteers-along with a local pediatrician, public health nurses, a sociology student, and others-operated a free clinic for migrant workers at the Sodoma camp some 17 miles west of Rochester. Under the general direction of the School' s Department of Preventive Medicine and Community Health, the project offered medical care to a group of people who, because of minimal incomes and lack of perm anent homes, had received very little regular medical attention. In addition, the clinic provided new opportunities for teaching, for surveying the special health needs of migrant workers, for conducting a health education program among migrants, and for analyzing the social and psychological setting of disease in this group. Dr. John Radebaugh, project direc tor, and Dr. James Zimmer laid the groundwork and organized medical teams. The clinic proved highly popular with both migrants and volunteers. Out of a camp population of only about 100, some 10 to 12 patients sought-and needed-attention on a typical clinic night. More faculty and students volunteered for the pro ject than could be used. Said Dr. Radebaugh of the experience: "The need of these families for medical care is great-but their greater need is something quite different from what we can do here . They need education not only in matters of health but in basics that will help them break out of this cycle of poverty and ignorance." - DAVID R. BRANCH

13 How did we make out this year? We aimed for a class of 850; we wound up with some 854 stalwarts (503 Andrew A's, 351 Zelda Z's). These 854 freshmen are an able group; we believe they are an interesting, active, talented group. Of course, as Chuck Dalton points out in his article, Rochester students have always been an able group. Changes in admissions have come gradually, and the ad­ missions picture today recognizes the growth in numbers of candidates with strong qualifications. With the excess of such candidates for the available places in the entering class has come an opportunity to be selective; the increase also carries with it the pressures, problems, and pitfalls of competitive admissions. We are forced to examine care­ fully our philosophy of selection, to interpret accurately the University as it is today, to predict what it may be to­ morrow, and to carryon our program in a manner that truly reflects our position. Clearly-and thank goodness-the Admission Office alone does not establish policy , nor should it. Formally, we enjoy the assistance of an advisory committee repre­ senting administration, faculty , and student points of view. Informally, we receive comments, suggestions, criticisms from many sources, including alumni. We wel­ into account the best current thinking about the desired come, repeat welcome, criticism.

15 was easy enough to end up with a picture in which, as James Reston puts it, "machines are replacing everything except maybe pretty girls." Today we are no longer trying to wish away the computer because we have recognized that it is a means of expanding human ability and explor­ ing unknown regions. We now know that without the computer there would be no space programs at Cape Kennedy or anywhere else-and that men would not be able to walk the sky. But the advent of the computer has presented immense challenges. And one of the greatest has been the hard cold fact we have been least willing to recognize: We are edu­ cating our computers faster than we are educating our young people. Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz has said that a computer today has the equivalent of a high school edu­ cation. And it can be educated to do many other things which will tap its full mechanized genius. But our system of educating our young people simply is not keeping step. For while we are in some ways making real strides in im­ proving education in elementary and high schools, we still are not doing enough to prepare our youth to do what computers can never learn to do. The great challenge in education is not that Soviet universities will graduate three times as many engineers and scientists as American universities during the next five years-not whether we can beat the Soviet educa­ tional program-but whether we can meet our own re­ quirements. The issue is not how well we can compete with the Communists, but with ourselves and with time. Robert Frost once concluded a poem with these lines: We are educating our "They cannot scare me with their empty spaces Between stars - on stars where no human race is. computers faster than we I have it in me so much nearer home To scare myself with my own desert places." are educating our young people. It is within these-our "own desert places"-that the real front-line of freedom is today. It is not in the trenches of a Korea or a Vietnam as much as in the classrooms of New York or the jungle schools of Ghana or the remote we know that a new pillar of strength is evolving-and instruction lean-tos of northeast Brazil that the real fight that its source is the ability to digest, disseminate, under­ for freedom is being fought. The basic challenge of our stand, and apply the vast body of new knowledge that time is how men can remain free; and while the solution each day increases and adds to the vision of human may momentarily seem lodged in this or that particular potential. It is, in other words, the ability to communicate battleground, the real test will be within our own institu­ an understanding and control of the knowledge explod­ tions and within our own ability to create a breeding ing all around us. In short, the new pillar is education. ground for freedom. In Thomas Jefferson's words: " If a Not long ago the computer arrived as a feared and un­ nation expects to be both ignorant and free, it expects welcomed member of our society. It brought visions of a what never was and never will be." dismal and frightening machine-dominated tomorrow. Against this backdrop, let us look at a few significant Experts, extrapolators, and statisticians promptly began and sobering facts: adding statistics to heavily seasoned economic analysis, First: Last year one out of three high school students pouring in generous jiggers of dark speculation, stirring with LQ.'s of 120 or over did not go to college. well-and then standing back. By following this recipe it Second: The Pentagon spends more on education and

16 training for war than all the secondary schools in the United States put together. Third: The United States commits a smaller percent­ age of its economic affluence to education than any other industrial nation. Fourth: Assuming the status quo prevails in terms of opportunity for "all Americans regardless of race," when a Negro baby and a white baby are born side by side today, the white child will have twice the chance to finish high school, three times the chance to get into college, three times as much chance to own his own home. In practical terms, what do we do about this? How do we assure that we will turn out the kind of citizens we must have in this democracy if we are to bring into being the kind of society and the kind of world we want? It is not The traditional answer in this country has long been to rely on compulsory education to the age of sixteen.

17 The same problem is faced even at high professional levels. The average half-life of an engineer, it has been estimated, is now just ten years. Putting it another way, half of the information he will need to know ten years from now is not available to him at this moment. So rapid has the pace of discovery become that even the normal advancement of children from primary school through college becomes hazardous. Much of the specific material they are taught in their early years is outdated by the time their education is complete. Thus, for all of us, specific knowledge must in some way be generalized and become transferable to other disciplines; and education itself must become not so much a defined process with beginning and end, but a continuing part of our lives. A n academic case in point: Since 1962 the medical schools Clearly, in this age, our national objective must be of the University of Rochester and the University of Lagos unmistakable-to educate all of our people to the maxi­ in Nigeria have conducted a faculty exchange program. mum of their ability.

We tend to think today of knowledge, hut to draw all of political freedom for these developing nations as syn­ onymous with progress-and after freedom, agriculture and industry. But at the outer perimeters of our universe, people in all nations as close knowledge is accelerating at a faster and faster rate; thus, a victory for political freedom may prove to be a Pyrrhic to those frontiers as the tools victory because those who achieve it may still find them­ selves living even more centuries behind than they are of education can take them. now-and losing ground each day. If we can solve our own educational problems in this country, however, it may also mean that the hard-won freedom of the developing and the less privileged nations the knowledge we have nations can be given deeper meaning through a system of gained? To me it seems clear that the task of education education that bridges the centuries and brings them into is not just to communicate what is new at the frontiers of the mainstream of knowledge. knowledge, but to draw all people in all nations as close to At this critical time of human history, we have the un­ those frontiers as the tools of education can take them. paralleled opportunity to extend the reach of human This brings me to my second point-the possibility of beings in all nations and to begin to realize the vision of developing new educational devices to help meet the the true human potential.

25 r. George L. Engel is a professor of psychiatry and Dmedicine at the University Medical School and a teacher and scientist of considerable distinction. He is also an inveterate doodler-in his office, at conferences STRICTLY and staff meetings, at luncheons and lectures. As yet the latter activity does not seem likely to over­ shadow Dr. Engel's scholarly achievements (a note on UNCONSCIOUS one of his major professional interests appears on Page 24). Nevertheless, his drawings have attracted a growing circle of admirers at the Medical School and elsewhere; in fact, they recently became the subject of a one-man show at the Medical School Library. Originally these visual byproducts of Dr. Engel's daily activities wound up in his wastebasket; however, when he discovered that students and colleagues were retriev­ ing them and compiling personal collections, he began to amass his own file. Of the sampling shown herein, those on the opposite page represent early Engel; the others are more recent works and were among the drawings displayed in the Medical Library show which, not incidentally, was en­ titled "Strictly Unconscious." Dr. Engel offers no ex­ planation for the evolution from the tiny, scurrying figures of his earlier period to the statelier creations which typify his later work.
