PRACTICE OF MEDICINE.
Professor Davis.
Adjunct Professor Flippin.
Dr. Magruder.
The Theory and Practice of Medicine is taught in a systematic
course of lectures, which are supplemented by clinical teaching at the
Dispensary and Hospital, during the third and fourth years.
Nervous Diseases and Insanity are taken up in the fourth year,
and in connection with them instruction in electro-therapeutics is given.
The graduating class is divided into two sections, each of which
devotes itself for half the year to the medical service in the wards of the
hospital. Full histories are taken of every case, thorough examinations
made, and management indicated by the students of each division under
daily instruction.
The same plan is pursued with the students of the third year at the
Dispensary three times a week.
A practical examination in diagnosis and treatment is required of each
student at the end of the fourth year.
