THE BLUE RIDGE SANATORIUM.
The Blue Ridge Sanatorium for the treatment of tuberculosis, which is owned
and controlled by the Virginia State Board of Health, lies within easy reach of
the Medical School. Under a plan of coöperation agreed upon by the State
Board of Health and the University, the Medical Director of the Sanatorium
teaches phthisiotherapy in the Medical School, and the 120 beds of the Sanatorium
afford excellent clinical material for first hand, practical experience for
internes, medical students and nurses of the University Medical School. Work
at the Sanatorium is part of the required course of the Medical School. This affiliation
of the Sanatorium and the Medical School offers an opportunity almost
ideal for the medical student to become thoroughly familiar with the diagnosis
and treatment of this most important disease.
