FACILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESEARCH.
The Department of Medicine not only fosters in its methods of instruction
the inductive study by the student himself of the phenomena presented by the
human body in health and disease, but also encourages the spirit of investigation
of unsolved problems of medical science and practice on the part of the instructors
and students. During the past few years there have appeared annually
a number of papers from its laboratories embodying the results of such investigations,
and it is the policy of the department to enlarge this feature of its
work in the future. Students are encouraged to engage in research as they
are prepared for it, usually assisting an instructor in some special study or else
conducting the research under his guidance and advice. For this purpose the
scientific and clinical laboratories offer the necessary facilities, and heads of
departments will always be glad to suggest and outline problems for investigation
by any medical student or by others possessing the necessary training
therefor.
