GRADUATE STUDY IN VIENNA The ninth special Course of Post

Graduate Study in Ophthalmology in Vienna has been announced, to be given October 1 to December 6, 1932, at the Eye Clinics I and II of the All-gemeines Krankenhaus. Professors Mellor, Lindner, A. Fuchs, A. Schtil-ler (Roentgen rays), O. Hirsch (Hypo­physis and Sinuses), and Doctors Bachstez, Urbanek, Sallmann, Fischer and nine others, will take part in the teaching.

For the students "a preliminary knowledge of ophthalmology is presup­posed," and "in refraction only ad­vanced work will be given." The class is limited to seventeen, and applica­tions are accepted in order of priority. The entire course is given in English.

This course has been taken by so many English-speaking ophthalmolo­gists, that those who desire will be able to learn something of it from acquain­tances, who have taken it in former years. It announces a total of 332 hours. Something of its character can be

judged by the assignments of time to a few of the more important subjects. Refraction and skiascopy with cylin­ders has 14 hours; and practical skias­copy with cylinders 8 hours; operations 10; histology 28; ophthalmoscopy 27; and also with red-free light 26; exter­nal diseases, under two teachers, 47 hours.

The greatest benefit from such a course will be received by those who have already worked in other clinics and in private practice devoted to this specialty. Graduate teaching is neces­sary in preparing to practice a spe­cialty. The Vienna intensive course must be recognized as an established institution of importance for the gradu­ate teaching of ophthalmology.
