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 afternoons, 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.
