Extract

While there are reports from the United Kingdom of the use of closed-circuit TV in medical education, most of those relating specifically to psychiatry appear to have come from North America. There is also one from the U.K. (Stafford-Clark, 1964) and a few others from elsewhere. But even in the U.S.A. there has been no rush to use television. According to Ramey, by 1964 only 179 of 1,500 departments of various kinds in U.S. medical schools were using closed-circuit TV, and only 141 to any substantial extent. Departments of physiology and pharmacology were found to be the prime users, with psychiatry coming a close third.
