THE OUT-PATIENT DEPARTMENT

Commodious and well-equipped quarters for the treatment of ambulant cases
are provided in the north pavilion of the hospital, and medical school building,
and the service is conducted under the direct personal supervision of members
of the teaching staff of the Medical Department.

The character of the equipment of this department and its location in the
hospital make possible the use of thorough methods in the diagnosis and treatment
of cases, and the systematic examination of each patient is thus emphasized
at the very outset of the student's clinical experience. More than 24,000 visits
were made by patients to this department during the past year.
