During the summer of 1913 the Dispensary building was remodelled
and the service reorganized. Separate waiting rooms for
white and colored patients have been provided and the floor space
has been rearranged to provide additional rooms for the different
services and separate examination rooms for male and female patients.
The chief of dispensary is present each afternoon during the regular
hours to receive and properly refer patients and to arrange for the
work of the students. The students are divided into sections and are
required to examine, record, treat, and follow each case that comes
to the clinic. The work is done under the close personal supervision
of the clinical instructors. Each third year student attends the medical
and surgical clinics every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon,
and each fourth year student the eye, ear, nose, and throat
clinics on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons throughout the session.
A nurse is detailed from the hospital each afternoon to be present at
the examination and treatment of patients, as required. The coöperation
of the District Nurse in Charlottesville has been secured and
the dispensary has in this way become an integral part of the charitable
work of the community.
