METHODS OF INSTRUCTION.
The instruction is given by systematic lectures, daily oral and periodical
written examinations, with associated practical work in Anatomy, Histology,
and Pathology.
The daily oral examinations on the subject of the previous lecture are of
great value in stimulating the student to regular and systematic habits of
study, and furnishing the Professor an opportunity of discovering and removing
the difficulties met with by the student. The Intermediate written examinations
the form of the Final or graduating examinations, which are also in writing
and of a rigorous character.
Besides these examinations, there is a general oral review at the close of
the session on all the different branches on which the student has graduated
during either that session or some preceding one; this is intended to test the
permanent acquisition of such general knowledge as every practitioner of
medicine should possess. This oral review has been found serviceable also
in preparing students more thoroughly for the State examinations in Virginia,
and the other States which hold such examinations, as well as for entrance
into the Medical Corps of the Army and Navy and the Marine Hospital.
