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.
