    Abstract:
    A comparative study was performed on the present organizational forms and methods of work adopted by the seamen's selection commissions from various parts of the U.S.S.R. A high correlation was stated between the number of seamen's visits to the doctor during a voyage and the forms of organizational as well as the volume of work done by the selection commissions. And thus with the recruitment of seamen by a professional commission of medical specialists, the appropriate number of medical consultations per 1 crewmen during the voyage was on average 2.1; with the recruitment of seamen by general practitioners, usually employed in the dispensary--the figure for the voyage was 6. The photochronometric observations of the performance of the medical staff employed in the seamen's clinic indicated that the optimum composition of a medical recruiting commission should correspond to the ratio of 4.5 doctors per 10,000 examined seamen.
