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. Students are encouraged to engage in research as they are
prepared for it, usually assisting an instructor in some special duty 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.

Library —The Medical Library is housed in the New Medical Building, and
is in charge of a special Librarian.
