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 central
structure, four stories in height, to which have been added up to 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 north pavilion contains, in addition to quarters for ward and private
patients, on the first floor, a specially designated 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 by students of the third
year; and twice weekly for the diseases of 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.
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.
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HOSPITAL TRAINING SCHOOL
FOR NURSES.
A training school for nurses is conducted in connection with the hospital.
Full information regarding requirements for admission, and the course of instruction
may be obtained by addressing the Superintendent of Nurses.
