MEDICINE IN SOCIETY. I. CHANGE AND CHALLENGE.
The Committee to Study the Role of Medicine of the California Medical Education and Research Foundation (CMERF) is grateful to Dr. Watts for the following paper which served as the philosophical basis for the Committee's study and discussions. The Committee is also grateful to CMERF and to its president, James C. Doyle, for the encouragement and cooperation it has received in the course of its intensive study of a problem which is of great interest and concern to the medical profession of California.Dr. Watts' background paper has served as a potent stimulus in directing the Committee's attention to the continuing dialogue between medicine and society, and in focussing on problems and issues which will be the subject of the Committee's Second Progress Report, excerpts from which are scheduled for publication in the next issue of California Medicine.
