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
been approved by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical
Association.

Page 5

(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:


6

Page 6
             
Required Subjects:  Session-hours. 
General Inorganic Chemistry (a) 
Organic Chemistry (b) 
Physics (c) 
Biology (d) 
English Composition and Literature (e) 
Other non-science subjects, including one ancient or
modern language (f) 

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) General Inorganic Chemistry. Four session-hours are required, including
two session-hours of laboratory work. In the interpretation of
this rule work in qualitative analysis may be counted as general inorganic
chemistry.

(b) Organic Chemistry. Three session-hours are required of which at
least one must be laboratory work. Four session hours including two
session-hours of laboratory work are recommended as giving better preparation
in organic chemistry.

Students are advised to take, in addition to the required general and
inorganic chemistry at least four session-hours in qualitative analysis and
two session-hours in quantitative analysis.

(c) 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.

(d) 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.

(e) English Composition and Literature. The usual introductory college
course of three session-hours, or its equivalent, is required.

(f) 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


7

Page 7
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, 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 sixty-five.
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
15, 1921).

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.

Women over twenty years of age are admitted to the medical department
by satisfying the entrance requirements specified above.

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
becomes self-reliant, a quality essential to the practice of his difficult profession.
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


9

Page 9
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 3,500 cases. The patients of the Blue
Ridge Sanatorium afford additional material for clinical instruction. 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.

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


10

Page 10
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 points as follows:

Anatomy 1, 27 points; Anatomy 2, 5 points; Organic Chemistry 10
points; Histology, 14 points; Embryology, 6 points; Biochemistry, 15 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


11

Page 11
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 years 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
year during the week immediately preceding the beginning of lectures. To
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


12

Page 12
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 laboratory 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 1921-1922 begin September 12 and close
September 17. 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

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 course in 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


13

Page 13
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
was issued for the establishment in this University of a chapter of the
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 following have been elected to
membership from the class of 1921: James Edwin Wood, Jr., B.S., Patton
Kimbrough Pierce, B.A., B.S., John Seward Lawrence, B.A., and Robert
Massie Page, B.S.

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.


14

Page 14

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.

The following is a description of the courses given during the session
1920-21. Important changes, to be announced later, will be made for the
session 1921-22. Organic chemistry becomes a premedical requirement; a
larger amount of time will be given to Biochemistry in the first year; and
Laboratory (clinical) Diagnosis will be given in the second year.

FIRST YEAR.

Anatomy 1.Twenty-four hours weekly during the first term and twelve
hours weekly during the second term.
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 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 work in gross anatomy is completed by Anatomy 3 of the second year.
Dr. Bean, Dr. Speidel and Dr. Hoover.

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. A reconstruction of the central nervous system showing the
more important pathways is prepared by each student. Dr. Bean, Dr.
Speidel
and Dr. Hoover.

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,
and Dr. Nicholson.

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
normal conditions of adult anatomy, as well as many anomalies and variations,
neoplasms and malformations. Dr. Jordan and Dr. Nicholson.

Organic Chemistry.Lectures and recitations three hours weekly, laboratory
work six hours weekly until January fifteenth.
This course includes the
systematic study of organic chemistry, with special reference to substances


15

Page 15
of importance in their relation to medicine. The course lays a thorough
foundation for subsequent work in Biochemistry, Pharmacology, etc. A
record of seventy per cent on this course is required for admission to Biochemistry.
Dr. Bird and Mr. Thurmond, assisted by Mr. Brading and Mr.
Waterhouse.

Biochemistry.—Lectures and recitations, three hours weekly from January
18 to the end of the second term, six hours weekly during the third term; laboratory
work, six hours weekly from February
1 to the end of the second term;
nine hours weekly during the third term.
The chemical structure and reactions
of carbohydrates, lipins, proteins, and other compounds occurring
in the body. Blood, milk, and bile. The chemical physiology of digestion,
secretion, excretion, internal secretion, intermediary metabolism, and
nutrition. The laboratory work includes the study of carbohydrates, fats,
fatty acids, soaps, proteins, purine compounds, etc; blood, milk, and bile;
the digestive enzymes and the digestion of foods; 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, Mr. Strang
and assistants.

SECOND YEAR.

Anatomy 3.—Four hours weekly through the first and second terms. This
course is the continuation of Anatomy 1, and consists of the systematic
study of topographic anatomy, with the aid of cross sections of the human
body, special dissections, and wet preparations; with a review of the whole
body in relation to the needs of the student in general medicine and surgery.
At the end of this course a practical examination is given, covering the
work of Anatomy 1, 2 and 3. Dr. Bean, Dr. Speidel and Dr. Hoover.

Physiology.—Lectures, recitations, and demonstrations, six hours weekly
during the first and second terms; four hours weekly during the third term;
laboratory work, six hours weekly during the first term, two hours weekly during
the second term.
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 grades of seventy per cent in Histology
and Biochemistry. The satisfactory completion of the laboratory work
of this course is necessary for admission to Pharmacology. Dr. Hough
and Mr. Strang.

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
work accompanying the systematic study of pathology. Opportunity is
given selected students for advanced work. Dr. Marshall and Dr.
Reynolds.


16

Page 16

Pharmacology.—Lectures, recitations and demonstrations five hours
weekly and laboratory work six hours weekly, during the third term.
The
physical and chemical characteristics and the mode of action of representative
drugs and other chemic agents are dealt with in both didactic and
practical exercises. Special attention is given to analysing and interpreting
the results obtained in the laboratory. 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. Wood and Mr. Ottenheimer.

Clinical Diagnosis.—Six hours weekly during the second and third terms.
During the session 1920-21, this course is given both to second and third
year students. Dr. Bray.

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.

THIRD YEAR.

Materia Medica.—Lectures and recitations three hours weekly and
laboratory work three hours weekly, during the first half of the third year.

A thorough study is made of the sources, preparation, composition, properties
and interactions of medicinal substances to the end that they may
be intelligently prescribed. Special attention is paid to their standardization
for purity and potency. Prescription writing and incompatibility are
dealt with in frequent practical exercises. While the consideration of the
more important preparations of the Pharmacopeia and the New and Non-Official
Remedies consumes the greater portion of the allotted time, the
course is concluded with a critical study of many of the so-called patent
medicines. Dr. Waddell, assisted by Mr. Wood.

Toxicology.—Lectures and recitations three hours weekly and laboratory
work three hours weekly, during the last half of the second term.
A
systematic review is made of the pharmacological action of such chemic
agents as are particularly liable to cause injury or loss of life, special attention
being given to their quantitative effects. Practical instruction is
given in the methods of isolating and identifying. The treatment of
poisoning is dealt with in detail. 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 Clinical
Laboratory in the north pavilion of the hospital, which is well


17

Page 17
equipped with the most modern instruments and apparatus. Dr. Bray, assisted
by Mr. Wright.

Theory and Practice of Medicine.Three hours weekly of lectures and
recitations throughout the session; six hours weekly in the clinics for one-half
the session.
A systematic course of lectures, supplemented by work in the
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
and Dr. Smith.

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. Bigger and Dr. Setzler.

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. Setzler.

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.

Phthisiotherapy.Six hours weekly for ten weeks, with each of the jour
sections of the class.
The work is given in three two-hour sessions a week,
held at the Blue Ridge Sanatorium, and consists of demonstrations, ward
rounds and assignment of cases for history taking and physical examination.


18

Page 18
At the end of each clinic session the case history, physical signs,
X-ray plates and laboratory findings are compared in conference. The
section is also invited to be present at the fluoroscopic examinations on
Friday mornings at the University Hospital. The procedure followed
aims to instruct in the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis by systematically
presenting each step separately at first and later combining
them all in the full consideration of the case, including the management
and treatment of the patient both in institutions and private practise. Dr.
Klotz.

Obstetrics.Five hours weekly of lectures, recitations and manikin demonstrations
during the year,
supplemented by work with patients in the wards
of the hospital. The class is divided into sections of five for manikin instruction
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 among
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 electrotherapeutics. 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. There is also a baby welfare
clinic once a week in the outpatient department. 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 outpatient
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.


19

Page 19

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,
and Dr. Setzler.

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


20

Page 20
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. A clinic for third
year students is held one day in the week in the out-patient department for
recording and examining pregnant women. The patients are instructed in
prenatal care, and students are assigned to each care for attendance during
labor under the guidance of an instructor. Dr. Macon.

Medical Jurisprudence.One lecture weekly during one term of the
fourth year.
The application of medical knowledge and skill to the needs
of the law is presented. References to literature are assigned for the fuller
development of special topics. Dr. Waddell.

Phthisiotherapy.Two lectures weekly for four weeks supplemented by
demonstration clinics at the Blue Ridge Sanatorium.
Dr. Klotz.

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,
head mirror, and of the laryngeal and post-nasal mirrors. In the
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.

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
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 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
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 cooperation 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 Sanatorium afford excellent clinical material for first hard,
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.
