ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.
The requirement for admission to the first year of the Department
of Medicine is a four-year high-school education or its full equivalent
and two years of work in a college of arts and sciences approved by
the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association,
as follows:
I. HIGH SCHOOL REQUIREMENTS.
(a) For admission to the two-year premedical college course, students
shall have completed a four-year course of at least fourteen units (fifteen
after Jan. 1, 1920) in a standard accredited high school or other institution
of standard secondary school grade, or have the equivalent as demonstrated
by examinations conducted by the College Entrance Examination Board or
by the authorized examiner of a standard college or university which has
Association.
(b) Credits for admission to the premedical college course may be
granted for the subjects shown in the following list and for any other subject
counted by a standard accredited high school as part of the requirements
for its diploma, provided that at least eleven units must be offered in
groups I-V:
Group I. English. (Three units required)
Literature and Composition.
Group II. Foreign Languages. (Two units required, both of which must be
in the same language)
Latin, Greek, French, German, Spanish, Italian, or other modern foreign
language.
Group III. Mathematics. (Two units required)
Elementary Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry,
Trigonometry.
Group IV. History. (One unit required)
Ancient History, Medieval and Modern History, English History,
American History, Civil Government.
Group V. Science.
Botany, Zoölogy, Chemistry, Physics, Physiography, Physiology, Astronomy,
Geology.
Group VI. Miscellaneous.
Agriculture, Bookkeeping, Business Law, Commercial Geography, Domestic
Science, Drawing, freehand and mechanical, Economics and
Economic History, Manual Training, Music—appreciation or harmony.
A unit is the credit value of at least thirty-six weeks' work of four or
five recitation periods per week, each recitation period to be not less than
forty minutes.
II. PREMEDICAL COLLEGE COURSE.
The requirements given below are strictly minimum requirements. Premedical
students are advised to take more than thirty session-hours of college
work, either by spending an additional year in college or by taking thirty-three
or thirty-six session-hours during their two years as college students. Entrance
conditions of any kind whatsoever are absolutely prohibited and no substitution
can be allowed for any required subject.
In addition to the high-school work specified above, a candidate for admission
to the Department of Medicine must present evidence of the completion
of at least thirty session-hours of collegiate work in a college approved
by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical
Association. A session-hour is the credit value of one hour a week of
lecture or recitation or two hours a week of laboratory work throughout
a session of at least thirty-two weeks, exclusive of holidays. The subjects
included in the thirty session-hours of college work should be in accordance
with the following schedule:
Required Subjects:
| Session-hours. | |
| Chemistry (a) | 6 |
| Physics (b) | 4 |
| Biology (c) | 4 |
| English Composition and Literature (d) | 3 |
| Other non-science subjects, including one ancient or modern foreign language (e) |
6 |
| Chemistry (a) | 8 |
| Physics (b) | 4 |
| Biology (c) | 4 |
| English Composition and Literature (d) | 3 |
| Other non-science subjects, including one ancient or modern foreign language (e) |
6 |
Subjects Strongly Urged:
French or German, Advanced Botany or Advanced Zoölogy, Psychology,
Advanced Algebra, Solid Geometry, and Trigonometry, additional
courses in Chemistry.
Other Suggested Electives:
English (additional), Economics, History, Sociology, Political Science,
Logic, Mathematics, Latin, Greek, Drawing.
REQUIREMENTS IN INDIVIDUAL COLLEGIATE SUBJECTS.
(a) Chemistry. For admission in September, 1920, six session-hours
are required of which four must be in general inorganic chemistry, including
two session-hours of laboratory work. In the interpretation of
this rule work in qualitative analysis may be counted as general inorganic
chemistry. The remaining two session-hours may consist of additional
work in general chemistry or of work in analytic or organic chemistry.
For admission after January 1, 1921, eight session-hours of chemistry
are required of which at least four must be in general inorganic chemistry,
including two session-hours of laboratory work, and four must be
in organic chemistry, including two session-hours of laboratory work. In
the interpretation of this rule work in qualitative analysis may be counted
as general inorganic chemistry. Students are advised to take, in addition
to the required general and organic chemistry, at least four session-hours
in qualitative analysis and two session-hours in quantitative analysis.
(b) Physics. Four session-hours required, of which at least one must
be laboratory work. It is urged that this course be preceded by a course
in trigonometry and solid geometry.
(c) Biology. Four session-hours required, of which two must consist
of laboratory work. The requirement may be satisfied by a course of four
session-hours in general biology or zoölogy, or by courses of two session-hours
each in zoölogy and botany, but not by botany alone.
(d) English Composition and Literature. The usual introductory college
course of three session-hours, or its equivalent, is required.
(e) Non-Science Subjects Including One Modern Foreign Language.
Of the thirty session-hours required as the measurement of two years of
college work, at least nine, including three session-hours of English, should
be in subjects other than the physical, chemical, or biologic sciences. At
least three of these nine session-hours must be in an ancient or modern
foreign language. When the student has presented for admission to College
two units of high school work in an ancient or modern foreign language,
he must complete three session-hours in the same language, this
work to be the continuation and not a repetition of his high-school work.
When the language studied in College was not studied in high school, he
must complete work aggregating four and should preferably complete six
session-hours in the language.
College courses in Physical Training and in Military Training or Military
Science will not be counted towards the thirty session-hours required
for admission to medicine; nor will required courses in Bible and Biblical
Literature be counted after Jan. 1, 1921, unless the course has a credit
value of at least three session-hours for one session.
No entrance conditions whatever can be allowed nor can any substitutions
be made for the required subjects. Premedical students in other colleges
and universities who are considering the possibility of entering upon
their medical studies in this university are urged to have the authorities of
the University of Virginia pass officially upon their academic credits early
in their last premedical college year and in no case later than June 1, of
that year. Deficiencies may be discovered in this way in time to remove
them before the following September. Such students will incur no obligation
to enter this medical school. The prohibition of entrance conditions
in all Class A medical colleges makes it especially important for the student
to be absolutely sure six months or more beforehand that the course he is
taking will admit him to the study of medicine. Many deficiencies can be
made up by work in summer schools.
Further information concerning the character of entrance requirements
and forms for certificates may be obtained by addressing the Dean of the
Department of Medicine.
In planning two years of premedical college work students are advised
to take English, mathematics (solid geometry, plane trigonometry,
and advanced algebra), biology, and general inorganic chemistry the first
year; and organic chemistry, physics, foreign language, and one or more
electives the second year. This arrangement of studies is advised because
mathematics should precede physics and general inorganic chemistry
must precede organic chemistry. Those who have to take four or more
session-hours of college work in foreign language may find it advisable
to take foreign language both years and take the mathematics in a summer
school following the first premedical college session.
Admission with Advanced Standing.—Students are admitted to advanced
standing in the second and third years under the following conditions:
1. Satisfaction of the requirements for entrance into this department at
the time of entrance of the class to which the applicant seeks admission.
2. The presentation of a certificate of honorable dismissal from the
school last attended.
3. The presentation of the complete record of the student in the school
previously attended, on blanks to be obtained from the Dean of the Department
of Medicine. This record will be submitted to the action of the Faculty
Committee on Advanced Standing, and the admission of the student,
together with the terms of admission, will be determined by this committee.
Limitation of Numbers and Reservation of Places in the First-Year
Class.—The number of students in the first-year class is limited to thirty-six.
Reservation of a place, if desired by the applicant, can be made beforehand
on the conditions hereinafter described.
Those intending to enter the Department of Medicine are advised to ascertain
at once by correspondence with the Dean of the Department of Medicine
whether their high-school and college courses entitle them to admission
to the first-year class. For this purpose there may be obtained from
the Dean a blank form on which the necessary information may be entered
in full.
At the time of registration, applicants will be registered in the order in
which they present themselves, until all vacancies are filled. Applicants who
have not made reservations, as described below, are therefore advised to
apply for registration at 9 o'clock of the first day of registration (September
16, 1920).
Any applicant whose record, certified by the proper official of the college
last attended, has been endorsed by the Dean of the Department of
Medicine as entitling him to admission to the first-year class, may at any
time after June 25 and before the registration period in September have
a place reserved for him until 12:00 noon of the first day of registration
by depositing with the Bursar the sum of $50.00 in part payment of the
tuition fee of the first year. A reservation so made can be cancelled only
in exceptional cases. In case a student who has obtained a reservation
fails to register, the deposit of $50.00 will be forfeited to the University
unless, in case of illness or other providential cause, the Dean of the Department
of Medicine directs that it be returned.
FACILITIES FOR AND METHODS OF INSTRUCTION.
There are well-equipped laboratories for the study of organic chemistry,
biochemistry, gross anatomy, histology and embryology, bacteriology
and pathology, physiology, pharmacology, materia medica, and clinical
diagnosis. These laboratories are all presided over by trained teachers, to
whom teaching and investigation are primary considerations. The number
of hours assigned to laboratory subjects is quite large and affords ample
time for thorough study of the best methods. The student is brought into
close contact with teachers who are both willing and able to guide him; he
gains a very large part of his knowledge at first hand and by his own exertions,
and thus acquires the habit of working out things for himself; he
Trained in this manner, he acquires an understanding of the medical
sciences and the ability to apply the facts of these sciences to the subsequent
study of disease. For these reasons the great fundamental sciences
receive the utmost consideration, constituting the entire work of the first
two years.
The methods of clinical instruction are based upon the belief that no
clinical teaching is efficient which is not governed by essentially the same
principles as those which govern the best laboratory teaching. This instruction
is accordingly designed to enforce with the individual student a
careful, thorough, face-to-face study of disease and its management. The
facilities afforded by the University Hospital and Out-Patient Department
are described on a subsequent page. After two sessions devoted to laboratory
training, the student is introduced in the third year to the study of
disease in living persons. In the Out-Patient Department and in the Hospital
he learns the methods of examining patients, of diagnosing their
diseases, and of instituting rational treatment; and he learns these things
in much the same way as he studied in the laboratory, that is to say, by
doing them himself under the direction and criticism of the instructors. This
practical training is accompanied by a systematic study of the various subjects
by means of lectures, textbooks, and recitations. With this preparation
the student is ready to enter upon the hospital work in his fourth year.
Here he has advantages for clinical training similar to those enjoyed by
internes. Each clinical patient on admission to the hospital is assigned to
a student, and that patient is regarded as his "case." The student conducts
a complete examination, records his observations in a scientific manner,
makes a diagnosis, states his view as to the treatment indicated, and keeps
a complete record of the case, all under the advice and criticism of the
physician or surgeon in charge. He is expected to keep himself informed
of the progress of the case throughout its course. If it is one requiring
surgical treatment, he assists at the operation, and thus is able to follow
all the procedures of the operator at close range. In addition, students
make frequent visits to the wards with the attending physicians and surgeons,
during which visits the nature, treatment, and progress of various
cases are gone over in detail. To carry out this method of clinical instruction
the hospital had last year over 3,000 cases. Since the number of students
in each class is relatively small, it is clear that the department offers capable
young men clinical advantages which are distinctly exceptional.
The Blue Ridge Sanatorium of the State Board of Health, situated a
mile east of Charlottesville, will open in the spring of 1920 for the treatment
of tuberculosis. Three pavilions have been erected, each with accommodations
for forty patients, and it is expected that the Sanatorium
will be enlarged within a year or two. The State Board of Health and the
University have agreed upon a plan of coöperation by which the medical
students of the third and fourth years are to receive instruction and to
act as clinical clerks in the Sanatorium. By arrangement with the State
Board of Health the Medical Director of the Sanatorium teaches his special
students and nurses have the opportunity of learning at first hand the
methods of diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis by actual experience
in the Sanatorium. This affiliation of the Sanatorium and the Medical
School offers an almost unique opportunity in the country for the medical
student to become thoroughly familiar with the diagnosis and treatment
of this most important disease.
Opportunities are offered in the third and fourth years for more extended
training in certain subjects with a view toward possible specialization
after graduation.
At the meetings of the Medical Journal Club reviews of important articles
and results of original research are presented by the instructors and
by invited guests. These meetings are open to the students.
REGULATIONS, EXPENSES, ETC.
Regulations.—The records given after the regular examination on a
course, with their explanations, are as follows:
Passed indicates the satisfactory completion of the course and admits
to all dependent subjects.
Conditioned means that to obtain a clear record on the course the student
must pass a special examination. Failure to take or to pass this examination
is equivalent to a record of "failed." The record "conditioned"
is not given in fourth year subjects, except in case of illness or other equivalent
cause approved by the faculty.
A student may be conditioned on any examination because of failure to
maintain a reasonable standard of English composition.
Deficient indicates that part of the work of the course has not been
completed. Upon the satisfactory completion of this work within the time
and in the manner prescribed by the professor in charge, the student receives
the record "passed"; otherwise the record is "failed" on the entire
course.
Failed indicates that the course must be repeated; except that when
the laboratory or other practical work has been satisfactorily performed, the
professor in charge may, at his discretion, excuse the student from repeating
the same; and, by special vote of the faculty, the student may be granted
optional attendance upon the course, in whole or in part. In general, a student
who is repeating a course will be required to attend all the exercises
of the course, and will not be excused from any exercise thereof because
of schedule conflicts with more advanced work.
Absence from a regular examination, when excused because of illness
or other equivalent cause, gives a record of conditioned; if not excused, a
record of failed.
To pass a regular or a special examination, a grade of eighty per cent
is required. If the grade is less than eighty per cent but not less than
seventy per cent, the student is entitled to the record conditioned; but the
record conditioned is not given in fourth-year subjects, except under the
conditions noted above.
No student will be admitted to any subject of the second or third year
(save by the consent of the Dean and the professors concerned), if more
than one-third of the work of the preceding year remains unfinished. If at
the beginning of the year his deficiencies have not been made up by the
satisfactory completion of courses at some school approved by the instructors
in charge at this university, he may continue as a student in the Department
of Medicine only by repeating the courses in which he has failed.
In the interpretation of this rule the values of the subjects of the first and
second years are estimated in point as follows:
Anatomy 1, 16 points; Anatomy 2, 5 points; Organic Chemistry, 15
points; Histology, 14 points; Embryology, 6 points; Biochemistry, 8 points.
Anatomy 3, 16 points; Physiology, 20 points; Bacteriology, 8 points;
Pathology, 20 points; Pharmacology, 8 points.
Whenever in the judgment of the faculty a student is receiving too
many records below the grade of passed, the faculty may prescribe special
conditions upon which the student may remain in the Department of Medicine,
or may require his withdrawal therefrom.
Students will not be allowed to undertake the work of the third or
fourth year until they have completed that of the first year, save by special
consent of the Medical Faculty.
A student may not take any course, either in whole or in part (as explained
under the above definition of failed) more than twice. A second
record of failed on the same course involves withdrawal from the Department
of Medicine.
Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Medicine, who have less than
one full year's work to complete, may be required to take such additional
work and to pass such additional examinations as the Medical Faculty may
prescribe. This additional work may be selected from any of the courses
given in the Department of Medicine, even when such prescribed courses
have previously been taken and passed by the candidate in question.
Certificates of Attendance.—Students who attend the whole regular
course of one or more of the four years are entitled to certificates of attendance.
Requirements for Graduation.—The degree of Doctor of Medicine is
conferred by the University of Virginia upon candidates who have complied
with the entrance requirements of this department; attended a regular
medical course of four years of at least eight months each, the last two
of which must have been at this institution; and have satisfactorily completed
all of the subjects included in the medical course.
Examinations.—These are in writing, accompanied in many subjects by
individual practical examinations. Examinations may be held only during
the regular examination periods at the end of each term or during the
vacation periods. No examinations may be given while regular class work
is in progress; provided this rule is not to be interpreted to prohibit unannounced
written tests or regular daily or weekly tests which count on
the class standing of students. The regular examinations are held at
stated periods during the session. In addition, examinations are held each
the latter are admitted:
1. Students of the previous session who, from illness or other equivalent
cause approved by the faculty, were unable to present themselves for
examination in any particular subject at the regular time.
2. Students who at the regular examination in any first, second, or
third year subject of the preceding session have attained a grade less than
eighty per cent, but as much as seventy per cent, on one or more subjects,
as explained in a preceding paragraph; or any student who has received the
record conditioned on a course taken in this university.
3. Certain applicants for advanced standing who are admitted to these
examinations by the Committee on Advanced Standing.
The usual period for special or conditioned examinations is in September
during the week of registration; but such examinations may be
scheduled, at the option of the professor in charge, for any other time,
provided regular class work is not in progress and also provided all students
entitled to take the examination agree to the change of date. For
a special or condition examination held at any other time than that assigned
for all students entitled thereto a fee of five dollars is charged.
This fee must be paid to the Bursar before the examination is held.
In all courses in which there is practical work, either in the laboratory
or in the outpatient department or wards of the hospital, two records
are returned to the Registrar's office for each student: one of these
records is for the practical or clinical work—in which the record is
P(assed), D(eficient), or F(ailed), the other record is for the didactic
work, including the final examinations—in which case the record is
P(assed), C(onditioned), D(eficient), or F(ailed), with the approximate
percentage grade. To obtain a clear record on the course a student must
have a record of P(assed) both on practical and on didactic work; in no
case will the two grades be averaged. No record whatever is given on
didactic work unless there is a record of P(assed) on practical work; failure
on practical work gives a record of F(ailed) on the entire course.
The Fall Examinations for 1920-1921 begin September 13 and close
September 18. Students entitled to admission to these examinations will
be informed of the date of examination by the Dean.
Expenses.—The fees for instruction are 1, the tuition fee; 2, the university
fee which entitles the student to the use of the Library, Gymnasium,
to medical attention, etc.; and 3, special laboratory fees, as specified below:
| FIRST YEAR |
SECOND YEAR |

| Total | $205.00 | $207.50 | $165.00 | $150.00 |
The minimum for necessary living expenses, including room, heat,
light, furniture, service, board, books, and laundry, is estimated at $250
In the courses in Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, a deposit of
$10 is required to cover cost of breakage.
Voluntary Withdrawal from the University requires the written consent
of the Dean of the University and the dean of the department in which
the student is registered. When a permit is granted upon the University
Physician's certificate that withdrawal is necessary on account of ill health,
which must not be due to dissolute conduct, the fees are returned pro rata.
Under no other circumstances will there be a return of fees.
Combined Degrees in Arts (or Science) and Medicine.—Students who
have credit for the forty-eight session-hours of the group electives required
in this university for the cultural baccalaureate degrees in arts and
science may substitute for twelve session-hours of electives-at-large the
first-year course in the Department of Medicine and receive the degree of
Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science at the end of the year.
The University also offers a course leading to the vocational degree of
Bachelor of Science in Medicine. This course includes two years of group
electives in academic subjects followed by the first two years of the medical
course. Since the academic group-electives satisfy the entrance requirements
of the Medical Department, students who can spend only two years
in college before entering upon the study of medicine are advised to plan
their work so as to secure this degree.
For further information regarding these degrees, see the General Catalogue
of the University.
The William A. Herndon Scholarships are founded upon the bequest of
Dr. Cumberland George Herndon, a graduate in medicine of this university.
They are awarded by the Medical Faculty after a competitive examination
held during the summer vacation preceding enrollment as a student in the
Medical Department. Candidates must be unable to defray the expenses of
their medical education and must signify their intention of entering the medical
service of the army or navy of the United States. These scholarships provide
for the necessary expenses of the student during the entire four years
of his medical course and are awarded whenever there is a vacancy. The
last awards were made in 1919. For information as to the examinations
and other requirements, address the Dean of the Department of Medicine.
The Alpha Omega Alpha Society.—On November 15, 1919 a charter
honor medical society, Alpha Omega Alpha, to which there are chosen
annually one-fifth of each graduating class, on the basis of scholarship,
character, and professional promise. The charter student members are
Burr Noland Carter, Francis Milton Massie, Walter Westbrook Robinson,
Beverly Chew Smith, James Banister Stone, Jr., of the class of 1919;
and Lewis David Hoppe, Jr., of the class of 1920. On December 10, 1919
the following members of the class of 1920 were elected to membership:
Claude Porterfield Fox, Jr., James Noah Greear, Jr., Philip Meriwether
Lewis, Frank McCutchan, and Hunter Holmes McGuire.
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.
In the following description of courses, the number of hours represents
the amount of time each student devotes to the course. In addition to the
hours scheduled in the third and fourth years of the course, each student
devotes a considerable amount of time to practical work which does not
appear in the schedule, but the satisfactory performance of which is essential
to graduation. Thus the taking of histories, the visits to his cases in
the hospital, assisting at operations, attendance upon cases of labor, the
employment of microscopical and chemical methods of diagnosis in the
hospital, require much time which it has not seemed possible to record in
a rigid schedule. It should, however, be stated that each student in the
fourth year gives at least six hundred hours to this required but unscheduled
practical work.
The session, exclusive of the time devoted to examination, is divided
into a fall term of twelve weeks, a winter term of ten weeks, and a spring
term of ten weeks.
FIRST YEAR.
Anatomy 1.—Twelve hours weekly during the first and second terms.
This course begins with a systematic study of the bones, on the completion
of which a part is assigned to each student for dissection and study.
On the completion of this course and Anatomy 3 each student has dissected
a lateral half of the body. The student obtains his knowledge at
first hand and by his own personal efforts. The satisfactory performance
of the laboratory work is essential to a passing grade. The work in gross
anatomy is completed by Anatomy 3 of the second year. Dr. Bean.
Anatomy 2.—Six hours weekly during the third term. This course consists
in a laboratory study of the anatomy of the central nervous system
carried out in considerable detail. The gross anatomy of the spinal cord
and brain is first considered, on the completion of which sections of the
more important regions are studied carefully with the aid of the microscope.
Fresh brains and series of sections of the cord and brain are thoroughly
used. Dr. Bean.
Histology.—Three lectures or recitations and six hours of laboratory
work weekly during the first and second terms. This course aims to acquaint
the student with the microscopic structure of cells, tissues, and organs.
Cytogenesis and histogenesis are briefly considered in the case of many
tissues studied. The relation of histology to physiology and pathology is
constantly kept in view. The student is also given opportunity to acquaint
himself with the principles and practice of histological technique.
A record of seventy per cent in this course is required for admission to
Physiology, and of eighty per cent for admission to pathology. Dr. Jordan.
Embryology.—Nine hours weekly during the third term. The laboratory
work (six hours weekly) with sections and dissections of mammalian embryos,
is supplemented by lectures, recitations, and the study of models.
The course aims to give the student a knowledge of developmental processes,
in the light of which he may the better understand the more abstruse
neoplasms and malformations. Dr. Jordan.
Organic Chemistry.—Lectures and recitations three hours weekly, laboratory
work six and ten hours weekly, respectively, during the first and second
terms. This course includes the systematic study of organic chemistry,
with special reference to substances of importance in their relation to medicine.
The course lays a thorough foundation for subsequent work in Biochemistry,
Pharmacology, etc. During the second term the laboratory
work includes quantitative determinations of immediate importance in Biochemistry,
such as the estimation of sugar, total nitrogen, uric acid, ammonia,
etc. A record of seventy per cent on this course is required for
admission to Biochemistry. Dr. Bird, assisted by Mr. Coleman and Mr.
Thurmond.
Biochemistry.—Three lectures, three recitations and nine hours of laboratory
work weekly during the third term. The structure, properties and reactions
of the more important compounds which the student meets in his
subsequent medical study. The laboratory work, continuing that of Organic
Chemistry, includes the study of fats, soaps, fatty acids, and proteins;
blood, milk, bile; the digestive enzymes, and extensive qualitative and quantitative
work on urine. A grade of seventy per cent on this course is required
for admission to Physiology. Dr. Hough and assistants.
SECOND YEAR.
Anatomy 3.—Ten hours weekly through the first and second terms. This
course is the continuation of Anatomy 1, and consists of the systematic
dissection and study, by essentially the same methods, of the parts not
studied during the first year. In addition, a course is given in topographic
anatomy, with the aid of cross sections of the human body. At the end of
this course a practical examination is given, covering the work of Anatomy
1, 2 and 3. Dr. Bean.
Physiology.—Four hours weekly of lectures, recitations and demonstrations
throughout the year. Six hours weekly of laboratory work in the
first and second terms. The physiology of muscle and nerve; blood and
lymph; the circulation; respiration; secretion; digestion and nutrition, and
the central nervous system. The work of the laboratory closely follows the
lectures as an integral part of the study of each subject. Open only to
students who have obtained a grade of seventy per cent in Histology and
in Biochemistry. The satisfactory completion of the laboratory work of
this course is necessary for admission to Pharmacology. Dr. Hough and
Dr. Waddell.
Bacteriology and Pathology.—Twelve hours weekly throughout the session
and two additional hours a week in the third term. The work in pathology
is open only to students who have obtained a record of passed in Histology.
Bacteriology and pathology are taught in a combined course. Emphasis is
laid upon the medical and public health aspects of bacteriology. Autopsies
and the study of gross and microscopic specimens supply the practical
given selected students for advanced work. Dr. Marshall and Dr. Gage.
Pharmacology.—Five hours of lectures, recitations and demonstrations and
six hours of laboratory work during the third term. In this course a study is
made of the chemical characteristics and physiological action of representative
drugs from the different pharmacological groups. An average grade
of seventy per cent on the first two terms of Physiology together with the
satisfactory completion of the laboratory work of Physiology is required for
admission to the course. Dr. Waddell, assisted by Mr. Vonderlehr and
Mr. Wood.
Journals.—In connection with the work in Physiology, Bacteriology
and Pathology, the second-year students meet with their instructors for
one hour each week from the first of December to the end of the session
for reports and discussion of the current literature of the above sciences.
Three reports are made at each meeting by the students.
Physical Diagnosis.—Four hours weekly during the third term. Instruction
is given in the principles and methods of physical examination. Attention
is especially given to study of the normal subject. Dr. Flippin and Dr.
Magruder.
THIRD YEAR.
Materia Medica.—Three hours of lectures and recitations and three hours
of laboratory work weekly during the first half of the third year. The more
important drugs and preparations of the Pharmacopœia, together with
newer non-official remedies which bid fair to attain or have attained considerable
use, form the subject of study. In the laboratory the student becomes
familiar with the peculiarities and methods of preparation of the
different preparations of the Pharmacopœia, as well as with the solubilities
and other characteristics of the more important drugs. Especial attention
is paid to chemical and pharmaceutical incompatibility. Prescription writing
is dealt with by lecture and frequent practical exercises. Dr. Waddell,
assisted by Mr. Vonderlehr.
Toxicology.—Three hours of lectures and recitations and three hours of
laboratory work weekly during the last half of the second term. This course is,
to a considerable extent, a review of the pharmacological actions of poisons
and their antagonists. The treatment of poisoning is dealt with in detail.
Some attention is given to the methods of separation and identification.
Dr. Waddell.
Clinical Diagnosis.—Six hours weekly during the first and second terms.
In this course the student is made familiar with those laboratory methods
which are helpful in the diagnosis of disease. These include, among others,
the examination of blood, urine, sputum, gastric contents, feces, spinal fluid,
exudates and transudates. Instruction is given in the recently completed
Clinical Laboratory in the north pavilion of the hospital, which is well
equipped with the most modern instruments and apparatus. Dr. Bray.
Theory and Practice of Medicine.—Three hours weekly of lectures and
recitations throughout the session; six hours weekly in the clinics for one-half
out-patient department and hospital. The class is divided into two sections,
each of which devotes itself for half the year to the medical service in the
out-patient department, and also twice a week receives instruction on selected
cases in the wards of the hospital. There is a general medical clinic
once a week in the hospital amphitheater. Dr. Davis, Dr. Flippin, Dr. Daniel,
Dr. Nelson, Dr. Smith, Dr. Setzler and Dr. Turner.
Surgery and Gynecology.—Four hours weekly of lectures and recitations,
and two hours weekly of surgical clinic throughout the session; with six hours
weekly in the out-patient department, two hours weekly in ward rounds in the
hospital, and one hour weekly in X-ray diagnosis for one-fourth the session.
The study of surgery begins in the third year and continues through the
fourth year. In the third year the classroom work consists of lectures and
recitations, as arranged in the schedule, in which the principles and practice
of surgery, surgical diseases, surgical diagnosis, etc., are thoroughly
discussed. This also includes certain surgical specialties, e. g., orthopedics.
The out-patient department course in the third year gives opportunities
for diagnosis and treatment of clinical cases under close personal supervision.
Experience in dressings, bandaging, anesthesia and minor surgery
is afforded. Surgical appliances and technique are demonstrated to the
students, divided into small groups. The work in gynecology follows
closely the outlines already described for surgery. The general principles
of gynecology are taken up in lectures and recitations. In addition,
the out-patient department affords practice in palpation, diagnosis and
treatment. Dr. Watts, Dr. Goodwin, Dr. Wright and Dr. Bigger.
Urology and Proctology.—Of the total time assigned to surgery, one
lecture hour weekly for the first and second terms, and six hours weekly
in the out-patient department for one-fourth of the session are devoted
to urology and proctology. In the classroom a general survey of the surgery
of the genito-urinary tract and rectum is made by lectures and recitations.
Especial emphasis is placed upon modern methods of diagnosis
and treatment. In the out-patient department, one-fourth of the class at
a time obtains supervised experience in handling clinical cases and performing
minor operations. Ample opportunity is afforded for the observation
of cystoscopic, urethroscopic and proctoscopic procedures. Dr.
Neff and Dr. Bigger.
Roentgenology.—Six lectures, and practical demonstrations to the class
in sections throughout the year. The applications of the X-rays to medicine
and the interpretation of plates in diagnosis. Dr. Wiatt.
Tuberculosis.—With the opening of the Blue Ridge Sanatorium in the
spring of 1920, instruction will be given in the diagnosis and treatment of
tuberculosis. Students will be admitted to the wards of the Sanatorium
on the same basis as they are admitted to the Out-Patient Department of
the Hospital and practical instruction will be given by the same methods.
Dr. Klotz.
Obstetrics.—Five hours weekly of lectures, recitations and manikin demonstrations
during the year, supplemented by work with patients in the wards
and for examination of patients in the hospital. The manikin
course forms an important part of the work, not only for teaching presentation,
position and posture, but also the mechanism of normal and abnormal
labor and the application of forceps. When the section is taken
into the wards of the hospital, the methods of examination, particularly
abdominal palpation, are practiced on the living subject. Dr. Macon.
FOURTH YEAR.
Theory and Practice of Medicine.—The same plan is followed in the
clinical work as that already described for the third year, each of the two
sections of the class devoting itself for half the year to the medical service
in the wards of the hospital. Full histories are taken of every case, thorough
examinations made, and management indicated by the students of
each division. These records are considered in the final grading of the
student. The subjects treated with the approximate division of time between
them are as follows:
Nervous Diseases and Insanity.—Three lectures and recitations weekly,
supplemented by clinical work during the first term. In this course is given
also instruction in electro-therapeutics. Dr. Davis.
Pediatrics.—Three lectures and recitations weekly, supplemented by clinical
work during the second term. This course of lectures is intended to
point out in a brief way how disease is modified by childhood and to indicate
how the difficulties of diagnosis and treatment due to early age may
best be encountered. The principles of infant feeding are emphasized and
the student is taught how to prepare the food. Dr. Davis and Dr. Rea.
Dermatology and Syphilology.—One lecture weekly during the fall and
winter terms. The importance, etiology, prophylaxis, pathology, clinical
history, diagnosis and treatment of syphilis are discussed. After a review
of the anatomic and the histologic structure and the physiology of the
skin, the diseases commonly met with are discussed. The available cutpatient
material is utilized by the third year students; selected cases, admitted
to the Hospital, are studied by the fourth year students. Dr. Smith.
Case Teaching, Medical Ethics and Economics, and Insurance Exam-
inations.—Two hours weekly during the third term. Dr. Davis.
Internal Medicine.—Two lectures weekly throughout the session. In
this course the endeavor is made to bring to the attention of the senior
student the more important problems of Internal Medicine. The relationship
of recent investigations in the fields of normal and pathological physiology,
biochemistry, immunology, etc., to internal diseases is especially
emphasized. No text-book is used; students are referred to the files and
current issues of journals and to reference works in the Medical Library
as sources of information. Dr. Flippin.
Surgery and Gynecology.—Two hours weekly of surgical clinic throughout
the session; three hours weekly of ward classes, supplemented by clinical
work in the wards and operating room for one-half the session with each of the
two sections of the class.
Instruction in surgery is carried on by clinics and bedside demonstrations
in the hospital. In the wards the students are assigned cases, whose
histories they must take. They must also make complete physical and clinical
examinations, urine analyses, blood examinations, etc. In the ward rounds
the diagnosis, operative and other treatment, post-operative care of the
cases, complications, prognosis, etc., are discussed in detail. A large
variety of cases is available and the close contact of the students with their
cases and with the routine of hospital management offers many of the opportunities
that an internship affords. In the operating rooms the students,
in small groups, take part in the operations, thus acquiring familiarity with
technique, anesthetization, etc. Those of the class who are not assisting
witness the operations, whose important features are demonstrated to them.
In gynecology the students have the same general work as in surgery,
consisting of the examination and the recording of the cases in the public
wards, attendance on ward rounds, at which the cases are discussed, and
observation and assistance in the operating rooms. Dr. Watts, Dr. Goodwin,
Dr. Neff, Dr. Wright and Dr. Bigger.
In addition to the above course, required of all students, the following
elective course is offered in the Department of Surgery:
Surgical Pathology.—An optional course. Two hours weekly during
one-half the session. This course is intended to supplement the general
courses in pathology and surgery and consists of lectures upon the pathology
of surgical lesions, demonstrations of fresh tissues obtained from the
operating rooms, and examination of microscopic sections. The student
reviews pathological technique and frozen section work is emphasized.
Dr. Goodwin.
Clinical Pathological Conferences.—One hour weekly is assigned for
the study of pathologic material in connection with the clinical aspects of
cases coming to autopsy. A history of the case is presented by the student
in charge, the autopsy is reviewed, the tissue and microscopic sections
are examined, and all the information thus derived is collated and contrasted.
Dr. Marshall.
Obstetrics.—The student attends, under the guidance of an instructor,
the labor cases in the hospital, and is required to prepare the history of
patients and to follow up the cases through the puerperium. Instruction
is also given in the care of the new-born. In addition the student has the
opportunity of attending patients in the out-patient department, and each
student is expected to attend at least six cases of labor. Dr. Macon.
Forensic Medicine.—One lecture weekly during one term of the fourth
year. Dr. Waddell.
Industrial Poisoning.—One lecture weekly during one term of the fourth
year. Dr. Waddell.
Diseases of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat.—Two lectures weekly during
the first two terms, supplemented by regular two- to three-hour clinics twice
weekly throughout the session and clinical lectures to sections of the class as
suitable cases occur. The class is divided into small sections and each student
is taught the methods of examination and the use of the ophthalmoscope,
clinics each patient is assigned to a student, who must take the history and
keep the record of that patient; the case is then demonstrated by the professor
in charge, and, if possible, each student makes his own examination
under the personal supervision of the attending physician. Clinical cases
are abundant, and during the year the student sees and handles practically
all the common diseases of the eye, ear and upper respiratory tract. Dr.
Hedges and Dr. Compton.
Hygiene.—One hour weekly throughout the session, and thirteen additional
hours in the second term. The course begins with a historical sketch
of the developments of preventive medicine, including short biographical
sketches of the pioneers of hygiene. With this introduction the story of
the natural history of contagious and infectious diseases, modes of propagation
and methods of prevention engage the attention of the student.
With this preparation, the chemical and bacteriological contamination of
food, water, air and soil is made an important study. Instruction is also
begun in the proper location and construction of habitations, hospitals,
schoolhouses, etc., with special reference to the modern methods of heating,
ventilating and draining. Notice is taken of the special relations involved
in military and naval hygiene. Dr. Lambeth and Dr. Durrett.

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.

The hospital is the property of the University and is under the exclusive
control of its Medical Faculty. It was designed and is administered
as a teaching hospital, being so arranged that free use can be made of its
clinical material without in any way disturbing or violating the privacy of
other patients.
The buildings are arranged upon the pavilion system, consisting of a
the present time three additional units of three stories each. The central
building is largely devoted to administrative purposes and general service
departments, but also contains an amphitheater and suite of private operating
rooms, sterilizing and anesthetizing rooms. The three pavilions are
connected with the main building by corridors on each floor. In these are
located the wards and suites of rooms for private patients. As at present
constituted, the hospital has a capacity of about 200 beds; of these, upwards
of 160 are available and used for clinical teaching.
The recently completed north pavilion contains, in addition to quarters
for ward and private patients, on the first floor, a specially designed series
of laboratory rooms, which have been equipped with new and modern furnishings
and apparatus throughout. The basement floor is devoted in large
part to the Out-Patient Department of the Hospital. Here separate waiting
rooms for white and colored patients are provided, examining rooms
for medical cases, operating rooms for minor surgery, specially equipped
rooms for genito-urinary and orthopedic surgery and for the treatment of
diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat. On the same floor is the Roentgen
Ray Department of the hospital.
Attention is particularly called to the fact that the hospital, with its
associated Out-Patient Department, constitutes a most valuable adjunct to
the teaching facilities of the Department of Medicine. The size of the
clinic permits the presentation of a wide variety of cases, and the organization
of the hospital as an integral part of the Medical Department affords
exceptional facilities for thorough study of the individual case.
The location of the University Hospital is a most favorable one, being
situated at the intersection of two great railway trunk lines near the geographical
center of the State. A large population outside of the city of
Charlottesville is available as a source of clinical material, both in the
wards and the Out-Patient Department. The hospital is thus enabled to
serve a large area of the State, and the transportation facilities are such
that this service includes a progressively increasing number of emergency
cases and cases of acute illness.

Commodious and well-equipped quarters for the treatment of ambulant
cases are provided in the north pavilion of the hospital, and the service is
conducted under the direct personal supervision of members of the teaching
staff of the Medical Department. Clinics are held three times a week
for general medical, surgical and genito-urinary diseases, which are attended
the eye, ear, nose and throat, attended by students of the fourth year.
The character of the equipment of this department and its location in
the hospital make possible the use of most advanced methods in the diagnosis
and treatment of cases, and the systematic and thorough examination
of each case is thus emphasized at the very outset of the student's clinical
experience.
An out-patient obstetrical service, and provision for attendance in the
home of certain cases of illness by the student, under the supervision of an
instructor, are a part of the organization of this department.
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HOSPITAL TRAINING SCHOOL
