Abstract
In an effort to explore the relevance of Western methods of training and treatment for foreign residents coming to the McGill training network, a directory follow-up was made of the graduates of 1958–63, and of the two years 1966 and 1967. Results showed that less than one fifth went to a developing country. When the sample was narrowed to those who came from developing countries it was found that one third went home in the earlier period and one quarter in the most recent period. These figures, rough as they are, show that some students do return home but that a great number remain away, probably because of inadequate support. Further study is needed, and should cover other health specialties as well.
