Abstract
The practice of medicine is a continuous process of education. The doctor who stops learning goes backward, even though he may be growing older and making motions that go with the care of the sick. Medicine is so avid for advance, so eager for new ways that are better to help the ailing or to stop suffering and pain, that those who practice it must be alert to research, must confer with their fellow physicians through societies and literature, and from time to time travel to see what others are doing or take up special studies or courses.

These graduate years may come in the form of internships or residencies immediately following the course in medicine,
