Pathology teaching will be included largely in the Preclinical Sciences Council but representation on the Clinical Science Council is warranted for the clinical service functions it provides. Similarly, Psychiatry and Preventive Medicine will be based mainly in the Behavioral and Social Sciences Council but their clinical role will be represented on the Clinical Sciences Council.
It is intended that the several new disciplines included inthe Behavioral and Social Sciences Council be established as independent departments in the Medical School. Only from such a base, it is thought, can the quality of faculty that is desired and traditional be recruited.
Each Council would be responsible for planning an integrated course for a student within the time allotted to the Council. The Council would be encouraged to set up alternative parallel courses where important difference in background and aptitude exist.
Examples of topics in which each Council might provide an integrated course are:
1. BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
Genetic coding and information transfer
Biological energy conversions Structure and function of cells and their organelles Contraction Membrance Phenomena Drug action
2. BEHAVIORAL-SOCIAL SCIENCES
Medical economics
