title: Education of physicians in the sexually transmitted diseases in the United Kingdom.
abstract: Undergraduate and postgraduate training in sexually transmitted diseases and genitourinary medicine in the UK is described. The course for overseas postgraduate students is briefly described. It is noted that once funds are available it has been agreed to establish a professorial chair of venereology at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School. This will be a major advance and is the most desirable goal to aim at in the encouragement of education in STD for the next few years.
