FACILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESEARCH.
The Department of Medicine not only fosters in its methods of
instruction the inductive study by the student himself of the phenomena
presented by the human body in health and disease, but also encourages
the spirit of investigation of unsolved problems of medical science and
practice on the part of instructors and students. During the past few
years there have appeared annually a number of papers from its laboratories
embodying the results of such investigations, and it is the policy
of the department to enlarge this feature of its work in the future.
Students are encouraged to engage in research as they are prepared for
it, usually assisting an instructor in some special study or else conducting
the research under his guidance and advice. For this purpose the
scientific and clinical laboratories offer the necessary facilities and heads
of departments will always be glad to suggest and outline problems for
investigation by any medical student or by others possessing the necessary
training therefor.
