OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY.
Professor Buckmaster.
In Obstetrics instruction is given by lectures, and the mechanical principles
involved in the study are explained by the use of suitable preparations
and models. The systematic use of the manikin with the fœtus has made it
possible for the student to obtain a knowledge of obstetric manipulations
which he can acquire in no other way. Routine work with the manikin
is obligatory.
