Competent professionals and modern methods: state medicine in British Columbia during the 1930s.

Little has been written about the formation of state medicine in early-twentieth-century Canada, particularly during the Depression era. Indeed, many historians and policy analysts have assumed that this was a time of stagnation and retrenchment in state health provision. To foster a more nuanced analysis of the formation of the Canadian medical state during the Depression decade, this article focuses on British Columbia and the public health initiatives brought in by the provincial Liberal government of T. D. Pattullo. In B.C., an energetic cadre of policymakers and bureaucrats sought to reform existing services by using professionally educated personnel, centralized administrative hierarchies, community education, and the surveillance of target health populations. Funding from the provincial government and the Rockefeller Foundation permitted considerable expansion in a range of public health sectors that included vital statistics, rural health centers, tuberculosis and venereal disease treatment schemes, and laboratory services. This article tells the story of this important period by bringing together details of the professional and personal lives of key individuals--the majority of whom were men--and exploring the new provincial health programs that were developed in B.C. during the interwar years.

[Radiology and emergency medicine: state of the art].

Emergency medicine has emerged as a specific medical specialty for 30 years. To be efficient, the emergency clinician frequently needs the contribution of radiological examinations. This is the reason why emergency radiology has emerged as a new radiologic subspecialty. The aim of this paper is to review the recent history of emergency medicine and to summarize the present state of the radiological organisation for emergency care in the Western countries.

Teaching law, ethics, and risk management at the School of Dental Medicine State University of New York at Stony Brook.

An upgraded course (program) in Law, Ethics, and Risk Management has been taught at the School of Dental Medicine, State University of New York at Stony Brook, since 1977 and was revised effective 1988. It brings together didactic instruction and an extensive clinical component beginning immediately before students enter the school's dental clinic and ending when clinical instruction is completed before graduation. The program is designed to (1) prepare students for the management of patients in the clinic; (2) ensure that student management of patients in the clinic does not place the supervising faculty and university administration at legal risk; (3) provide the student with knowledge about the law and legal system; (4) provide students with information about the regulation of dental practice; (5) identify areas of legal vulnerability in the practice of the profession, and risk management office principles designed to control or eliminate the risks; and (6) instruct the student about professional codes regulating ethical behavior and ethical standards of conduct.
