THE BLUE RIDGE SANATORIUM

The Blue Ridge Sanatorium for the treatment of tuberculosis, which is
owned by the State and controlled by the Virginia State Board of Health, is situated
near the Medical School. Under a plan of coöperation agreed upon by the
State Board of Health and the University, the Medical Director and other members
of the staff of the Sanatorium give instruction in the diagnosis and treatment
of pulmonary tuberculosis to students in the Medical School. The Sanatorium
has accommodations for 270 patients. Work at the Sanatorium is part of

the required course. This affiliation of the Sanatorium and the Medical School
offers an opportunity almost ideal for the medical student to become thoroughly
familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of this most important disease.
