Third Year.
Clinical Diagnosis.—Six hours weekly during the fall and winter
terms of the first year. In this course the student is made familiar with
those modern laboratory methods which are practically helpful in the diagnosis
of disease. These include, among others, the systematic examination
of blood, sputum, urine, gastric contents, feces, exudates,
transudates, and milk. The student is not only required to understand
the methods employed in such examinations, but by practice to
acquire the skill necessary for accurate results. The instruction is
given in the new Clinical Laboratory, situated in the north wing of
the Hospital. This laboratory is well equipped with instruments and
apparatus, and the wards of the Hospital furnish ample material for
the proper presentation of the subject. Dr. Flippin and Mr. Smith.
Theory and Practice of Medicine.—Three hours weekly of lectures
and recitations throughout the third year; nine hours weekly in the clinics
for one half the session. A systematic course of lectures, supplemented
by work in the Dispensary and Hospital. The class is divided into
two sections, each of which devotes itself for half the year to the
medical service in the Dispensary and also twice a week receives instruction
on selected cases in the wards of the Hospital. There is a
general medical clinic once a week in the hospital amphitheater for
the third and fourth year students. Dr. Davis, Dr. Flippin, Dr. Magruder,
Dr. Nelson.
