THE OUT-PATIENT DEPARTMENT
Commodious and well-equipped quarters for the treatment of ambulant
cases are provided in the north pavilion of the hospital, and the service is
conducted under the direct personal supervision of members of the teaching
staff of the Medical Department. Clinics are held 6 times a week for general
medical, pediatric, surgical, gynecological, obstetrical and genito-urinary
diseases, which are attended by students of the third year; and 5 times weekly
for the diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat, attended by students of the
fourth year.
The character of the equipment of this department and its location in
the hospital make possible the use of most advanced methods in the diagnosis
and treatment of cases, and the systematic and thorough examination of each
case is thus emphasized at the very outset of the student's clinical experience.
An out-patient obstetrical service, and provision for attendance in the
home of certain cases of illness by the student, under the supervision of an
instructor, are a part of the organization of this department.
