A project to exchange details of AREA V's

of which have no CCU program, twenty-
nine of which sponsor Nurse Training Pro-
grams and eight of which sponsor Physician
Training. Replies are coming in steadily
and the wealth of information supplied is
: being tabulated to give a comparison of
, type length, frequency and content of
‘ gourse, aa well as data an, evaluation.
“It is hoped. ‘that all replies “will, be in
: by the end of September | and that the
! facta can be compiled in 'a summaty to be
: shared with the participating R RMP' 8. ,
