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.
