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 medical school
building, and the service is conducted under the direct personal supervision
of members of the teaching staff of the Medical Department.

The character of the equipment of this department and its location in the
hospital makes possible the use of thorough methods in the diagnosis and
treatment of cases, and the systematic examination of each patient is thus
emphasized at the very outset of the student's clinical experience. More than
32,000 visits were made by patients to this department during the past year.
