title: The next twenty-five years.
abstract: The next 25 years have been reviewed from the general standpoint of people and economy and from the specific focus of the health care needs of women. Special problems in patient care which will require our immediate attention have been identified. The strengths and weaknesses of the College have been presented. A proposal for reinforcement of organization within the discipline to help us pull together as a team is the creation of 1) A Coordinating Council For Obstetrics and Gynecology; and 2) A Board of Trustees for the American College. These steps I believe are essential to the health growth of our College and the advancement of quality education and improved patient care.
