During the summer of 1913 the dispensary building was remodeled and
the service reorganized. Separate waiting rooms for white and colored
patients have been provided and the floor space has been arranged 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.
