The British Medical Journal denies the suggestion advanced by one of the English papers that there is an influx of German doctors in England. The Journal carries an announcement from the Jewish medical committee showing that the number of German Jewish refugee doctors in England does not exceed 180, of whom less than 100 are studying for examinations which will enable them to practice in England.
In this connection, the Medical Journal carries a letter from the Medical Association to all university deans, pointing out that foreign doctors desiring to take the British examinations, do not necessarily intend to establish practices in England, but are taking examinations which also enable them to practice in the British Dominions or in the colonies, where a shortage of doctors exists.
The letter of the Medical Association is couched in the friendliest of tones and implies that the university deans should give German doctors the opportunity to prepare for English examinations.
