Abstract

In this text, sent to the editors shortly before his death, the author makes some personal comments concerning the articles on the organization of occupational medicine that appeared in this Journal in March, 1978 (vol. 23, No. 1). The author points to the fact, that the discipline of Medicine of Accidents has almost entirely disappeared from the curriculum of Swiss Medical Schools, and that Occupational Medicine is given very little attention. As a Founder of the Swiss Society of Social Medecine he feels that the old Medicine of Accidents, having developed in part into Occupational Medicine, and Social Medicine form two distinct branches of Medicine, each with its own field of activities.
