The St. Luke`s Hospital Gazette : volume 10 issue 2

Abstract

Continuing medical education should be an integral component of the Maltese health care system. This is one main focal points outlined by the editorial, emphasizing the need for doctors to keep abreast with the advances of medical knowledge, skills and practice. In this regard, an important key element is that of attending medical meetings, lectures and courses with a view to furthering medical knowledge, since there is no terminal point in medical education. Within the “Medical News” section, a list of Doctors of Medicine who graduated recently is presented. Additional information is provided about outstanding lectures given by physicians, as well as advancements and new appointments. Reference is also made to the International Congress of Venereal Disease. Furthermore, a Book Reviews section, and a scientific Publications List are presented. A subject and author indexes containing an alphabetical list of subjects and authors of this volume are also included.
