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.
