Jointly with the Armed Services, OCDM continued to support the Medical Education for National Defense (MEND) program which introduces mass emergency medical care training into the curriculum of the Nation's medical schools. Fifteen additional selected schools jointed this program in FY 1960. On June 30, 1960, 70 of the Nation's 85 accredited medical schools were participating in the program.
