Notes

The TOPEKA STATE HOSPITAL has been added to the clinical facilities available for training residents enrolled in the Menninger Foundation School of Psychiatry. This state hospital is now an integral part of the training program which includes residencies at Winter VA Hospital and the Menninger Sanitarium, approved by the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the AMA and by the American Board of Neurology and Psychiatry. The integrated psychiatric training program in Topeka is a coöperative enterprise directed by the Menninger Clinic with participation by the University of Kansas School of Medicine, the Veterans Administration, the Topeka Psychoanalytic Institute, the Department of Psychology of the University of Kansas, the Schools of Nursing and Social Work of the University of Pittsburgh, Smith College, Washington University and other institutions. Addition of the State Hospital's fifteen hundred beds will make possible an increase in the number of psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, psychiatric social workers, nurses, aides and therapists who can be given training in Topeka. The immediate increase in the number of Fellows to be admitted to the Menninger Foundation School of Psychiatry is four; an additional eight will be accepted for July 1, 1950.
