As a result, there are increasing opportunities opportuni-ties for young Utahns seeking to become physicians. Urging prospective high school graduates to carefully appraise the possibilities of a medical career, ca-reer, he pointed out that "the unprecedented population influx in-flux means we will need many more trained physicians in a few years to meet our future needs." The 1960 high school graduates should contact their school counselors coun-selors and advisors for available information on college and medical med-ical school requirements, or talk with local physicians about future fu-ture plans, the USMA official declared. "The medical profession profes-sion takes pride in assuming leadership in the recruitment of top students for medical careers, he pointed out.
