METHODS OF INSTRUCTION.
The instruction is given by systematic lectures, daily oral and periodical
written examinations, with associated practical work in Anatomy,
Histology, and Pathology.
The daily oral examinations on the subject of the previous lecture
are of great value in stimulating the student to regular and systematic
habits of study, and furnishing the Professor an opportunity of discovering
and removing the difficulties met with by the student. The Intermediate
written examinations demand frequent and careful reviews,
and familiarize the class with the form of the Final or graduating examinations,
which are also in writing and of a rigorous character.
Besides these examinations, there is a general oral review at the close
of the session on all the different branches on which the student has
graduated during either that session or some preceding one; this is intended
to test the permanent acquisition of such general knowledge as
every practitioner of medicine should possess. This oral review has
been found serviceable also in preparing students more thoroughly for
the State examinations in Virginia, and the other States which hold
such examinations, as well as for entrance into the Medical Corps of
the Army and Navy and the Marine Hospital.
