Lindberg: Well, you know we have an interestin looking back

twenty-five years at this program which startedout with much

enthusiasm and didn't last as long as itsproponents hoped.

Whatwere some of the merits of the program?

Let's take the good sidefirst.

What did it achieve in terms of activitiesyou were able

to observe?

Hinman: Unfortunately, it didn't reach itsfull potential.

Ithink the things that it did do is it began

to get people talkingon the professional side.

Not just the consumers, butprofessionals talking about how health care

services could bedelivered outside the medical school arena,

which was, of course,part of the original intent, to be able to

diffuse technology ofone sort from the medical schools out to the

practicingphysicians.

That dialogue did get initiated after somefalse

starts and I think there have been some areaswhere there was

some impact that still persists.
