I think Mike Moore made a point about that - but mentioning it causes the 
'socialist health care' types to froth at the mouth. 
It seems to be a requirement here that med students spend time in challenging 
circumstances. One I know just got back from two months in a Ghanaian clinic 
and another, an ex-student, has worked in an aboriginal community clinic every 
summer break for three years.
