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.
