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 the 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.
