SESSIONS AND COURSE OF STUDY IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE.
Attention is called to the fact that the course has been extended
to four years, and provision has been made for the erection
and equipment of a Hospital, with extension of clinical
instruction in connection therewith.
The work of each of the four years of the course in Medicine continues
through the full nine months of the University session, beginning
on the fifteenth day of September and closing on the Saturday
immediately preceding the fifteenth day of the following June. The
studies included are arranged as follows:
During the first session: Chemistry (with an introductory
course upon the principles of Chemical Physics); Biology (Comparative
Anatomy and Normal Histology); and Descriptive
Anatomy.
During the second session: Physiology; Bacteriology; General
Pathology; Regional Anatomy; and Hygiene.
During the third session: Embryology; Obstetrics; Practice of
Medicine; Surgery; Special Pathology and Clinical Diagnosis;
and Materia Medica.
During the fourth session: Practice of Medicine; Therapeutics;
Clinical Surgery; Dermatology; Diseases of the Eye and Ear;
Gynecology and Medical Jurisprudence.
An examination of this system will show that the work of the first
year is given to those sciences which are fundamental to the entire
work of the remaining part of the course; that of the second year
includes the study of those sciences, more distinctively medical, which
are based upon the work of the previous year, while they in turn
underlie the more strictly professional subjects of study; these latter
are begun in the second year, while the third and fourth years are
devoted wholly to them. The larger part of the work of the first year
is accompanied by practical work in the laboratory and the dissecting-room;
the same is true in great measure of the work of the second
year, while in the third, and especially the fourth year, the time of
the student is devoted largely to practical clinical instruction. The
facilities afforded by the University for such work will be more fully
described in the statements which follow concerning the different
subjects included in the course.
Methods of Instruction.—The instruction is given by systematic
lectures and daily oral examinations, with associated practical work
in Anatomy, Physics and Chemistry, Histology, Bacteriology, Pathology,
and Obstetrics. The daily oral examinations on the subjects of
the previous lectures 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 difficulties met with by
the student.
Relations of the Student in the Second and Succeeding Years.—
Students who pass a satisfactory examination on the subjects studied
during the first session are not required to attend the lectures or stand
the examinations on these subjects the second year; but if a student
fail to pass a satisfactory examination at the regular time on one or
more of the subjects included in the first year's course, he will be permitted
to take such subject or subjects over during the second year,
without the payment of any additional fee. Like rules apply to the
passage of the student from the second to the third, and from the
third to the fourth session. Provided, however, that no student whose
failure to pass a satisfactory examination at the regular time shall
extend to all the subjects of a given year will be permitted to go on to
the work of the succeeding year; he will be required to confine himself
to a repetition of the work of the year on which he has failed—
and no student will be allowed to undertake the work of the third or
fourth year until he has completed that of the first, save by special
consent of the Medical Faculty. Students who have taken the degree
of Bachelor of Arts in the University of Virginia, on a scheme including
such medical subjects as, in connection with other subjects associated
therewith, shall be approved by the Medical Faculty, may be
admitted to the studies of the second year. Students entering the
Medical Department of this University from other medical schools are
considered students of the first year until they have passed the examinations
hereafter mentioned.
Certificates of Attendance.—No one will receive a certificate as a
regular student of the Department of Medicine in this University
unless he has attended the whole regular course of one or more of the
four years.
Requirements for Graduation.—No student is permitted to graduate
from the University of Virginia with the degree of Doctor of Medicine
till he shall have attended the regular course of not less than four
years in this institution, and passed a satisfactory examination on all
the subjects included in the Medical course, unless, in lieu of either
the first or second year's study here, he shall have attended one course
of lectures of not less than seven months, or two courses of less than
seven months each, in some other reputable medical school, in which
case he may apply for graduation at the end of his third or second
session in this institution; but in order to obtain the degree he must
pass a satisfactory examination at this University on all the subjects
heretofore mentioned as included in the medical course. A student
who is already a graduate in Medicine of some other reputable medical
school may be received as a student in this University of the fourth
year.
The Graduating Examinations are in writing (accompanied in some
subjects by individual practical examinations) and of a rigorous character.
Two sets of these are held each year—one near the close of the
beginning of the next session. To the latter are admitted—
(a) Students of the previous session who from illness or other cause
approved by the Faculty were unable to present themselves for examination.
These may be examined on any part of the course, and will
not be required to matriculate anew.
(b) Students who at the close of the preceding session have passed satisfactory
examinations on at least one of the studies pursued during
that session, and have attained on one or more of the remaining subjects
such a grade (but little lower than that required for graduation)
as the Faculty may approve. This slightly lower grade must have
been reached on the particular subject or subjects on which the student
presents himself for re-examination.
(c) Students who present certificates of attendance on one or two seven-months'
courses or their equivalent at some other reputable medical
school.
Students falling under classes (b) and (c), after first matriculating and
then passing the Fall examinations on the studies of the preceding
one or two sessions, may proceed to the work of the second year, or
to that of the third year, without attending the lectures on or passing
further examinations in, the studies of the preceding session or
sessions, except the general examination which immediately precedes
graduation.
☞These Fall examinations begin within one week from the opening of the
session, and are to be completed not later than the first of October.
Written notice of intention to stand these examinations must be filed
with the Dean of the Medical Faculty on or before the eighteenth of
September
No special examination will be given in the Department of Medicine
except under extraordinary circumstances, to be carefully weighed by
the Medical Faculty.
Any professor of the Medical Department may exclude from his
examination any student whose irregularity of attendance or neglect
of practical work warrants, in the professor's judgment, such exclusion.
A General Examination is held each year prior to graduation (at
the close of the session) on all the different branches on which the
candidate for graduation has passed 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.
CHEMISTRY.
Professor Mallet,
Mr. Humphreys,
Professor Dunnington.
In this course the students are taught Chemical Physics and the
general principles of Chemistry, and are carried through a course of
directed, whenever an occasion presents itself, to the application of
chemical principles to Physiology, the Practice of Medicine, Therapeutics,
Toxicology, and Sanitary Science.
Text-Books.—Witthaus' or Fownes' Chemistry; Syllabus of the Professor's
lectures. For reference: Charles' Physiological and Pathological Chemistry;
Wormley's Micro-Chemistry of Poisons.
A course of laboratory exercises in Practical Physics with especial
relation to the needs of the medical student is given by Mr. Humphreys,
and a like course in Practical Chemistry is given by Professor
Dunnington. These form a part of the prescribed general course in
Medicine.
MEDICAL BIOLOGY.
| Professor Tuttle, | Mr. Powell, |
| Dr. Skeen, | Mr. Fox, |
| Mr. Laning, | Mr. Livermore. |
Under this title are grouped, for convenience, the lectures in the
courses described below, the whole forming a continuous series of
three lectures a week throughout the first year of the Medical course.
Each lecture is accompanied by two hours of practical work in the
laboratory illustrative of the topics discussed. The laboratory is convenient,
well lighted, and amply equipped; forty-eight desks are provided
with microscopes, accessory apparatus, and all necessary
reagents, and the class is divided into working sections not exceeding
that number; desks are assigned by lot at the opening of the session,
and apparatus issued as needed from time to time. Each student is
required to provide himself with a set of dissecting instruments, and
with slides, covers, and labels for microscopical preparations; all other
appliances are provided by the laboratory without charge.
Comparative Anatomy.—The lectures of the first three months are
devoted to the discussion of the comparative anatomy of vertebrates,
the thoracic and abdominal viscera being chiefly considered; the student,
in the meantime, dissecting and studying a series of animals
representative of the principal sub-divisions of the group. The objects
of the course are to give such fundamental morphological conceptions
and such general anatomical knowledge as shall pave the way for the
detailed and specific study of Human Anatomy; to familiarize the student
with the normal appearance of healthy organs and tissues as seen
immediately after death; and to lay the foundation for the subsequent
intelligent study of Histology and of Physiology. The dissections are
supplemented by demonstrations and the study of permanent preparations
illustrative of features of importance.
Text-Book.—None is required at present. Parker's Zoötomy is recommended
for laboratory use, and Wiedersheim's Comparative Anatomy of
Vertebrates (Parker's translation) for collateral reading.
Histology.—The lectures of the ensuing months are devoted to the
allied subjects of Histology and Histological Anatomy. In the first
part of the course the tissues and their component elements are carefully
examined, both singly and in their primary aggregates, as are
also those organs which consist largely of one form of tissue. The
remainder of the course is devoted to an examination of the more
complex organs and systems of organs, their constituent tissues and
the relations between them being studied. While the primary object
of the course is the imparting of clear and accurate knowledge of the
minute structure of the body, due attention is paid to the technique
which is necessary as a means to that end; students are therefore
carefully trained in the use of the microscope and in histological
processes, including the selection and preparation of material, the
making and mounting of sections, and their subsequent study.
Text-Book.—The Professor's Elements of Histology. For reference:
Shaefer's Essentials of Histology; Piersol's Normal Histology; Stirling's
Outlines of Practical Histology.
The attainments of the student in each of the divisions of the course
are tested by both written and practical examinations; his standing for
the year is determined by an average of all the marks received. Diligent
use of the opportunities afforded in the laboratory is essential
to the successful completion of the work of the year, and students who
are persistently irregular and negligent of their work will not be
admitted to the examinations.
ANATOMY.
| Professor Christian, | Dr. Bullitt, |
| Dr. Jones, | Dr. Sperow. |
Descriptive Anatomy.—The instruction is given by didactic lectures,
combined with the course of Practical Anatomy as taught in the Dissecting
Hall. The endeavor throughout is to render the teaching as
completely practical as possible; no statement is made that is not illustrated
by its exhibition, either on actual dissection or on the preparation
of a dissection, the effort being to convey knowledge by the
so-called natural method—that is, by mental imagery formed by
repeated observations of nature. This is accomplished by exhibiting
to the student and requiring him to handle the dissected parts and
preparations made therefrom. The equipment of the School for this
purpose is most ample. Particular attention is called to the fact that
cranial nerves, etc.—cuts and diagrams are not relied upon, as is too
often the case, but careful dissections are yearly made and demonstrated
to the class.
Practical Anatomy.—For this course dissecting material, obtained
under the permissive law of the State, is abundantly supplied without
cost to the student. Attendance in the dissecting room is compulsory,
a strict record being kept in the case of each student. Every student
is required to dissect on all parts of the human body. Two subjects
are dissected; the first for muscles and fascias; the second for arteries
and nerves. Not more than five dissecting clubs (of eight men each)
are admitted to the hall at one time. A Demonstrator for each club
superintends the dissections, directing the work of the individual student;
and, afterwards, accurately and carefully explaining every dissection
to his club. After this careful preparation, besides the ordinary
oral and written examinations, each student is required to stand eight
practical examinations, one upon osteology, four upon different parts
of the muscular system, one on the viscera, one on the ligaments, and
one on the vessels and nerves. These examinations are oral and private,
each student being questioned alone, and required not only to state
the origin and insertion of muscles, the beginning, termination and
relations of blood vessels, nerves, etc., but to point out or demonstrate
each fact. They are thus a perfect test of the student's practical
acquaintance with the gross structure of the human body.
Regional Anatomy.—This subject is taught to second course students
by the same practical methods as are described above.
The important bony landmarks, lines of blood vessels, nerves and
muscles are carefully described and their positions verified by dissections
made before the class. Special attention is paid to the study
of the landmarks of the skull, neck, chest, and abdomen, and all the
structures in, or bearing relation to, the more important joints. Inguinal
and femoral hernia, the perineum and pelvis, are described with
special reference to the surgery of these parts. Cross sections of the
upper and lower extremities and the neck are made at different levels
and described to the students, who are afterwards required to stand
practical examinations on these parts. The course, in fact, is a comprehensive
review of the facts taught in Descriptive Anatomy, but with
special reference to their application to Medicine and Surgery.
PHYSIOLOGY.
Professor Barringer.
The study of Physiology is not begun until the student has completed
the courses in Chemistry, Anatomy, and Histology, and is hence
well prepared to appreciate the broader principles of this subject. The
bearings on the subsequent studies of Pathology and Therapeutics.
In the elucidation of this subject the large collection of plates belonging
to the Department is supplemented by original preparations and
models.
Text-Book.—The Professor's Abstract. For reference: Landois's Physiology;
Foster's Physiology or Kirke's Physiology.
BACTERIOLOGY.
| Professor Tuttle, | Dr. Graham, |
| Dr. Davis, | Dr. Bumgardner, |
| Dr. Skeen, | Mr. Laning. |
Bacteriology is taught by lectures accompanied by practical work in
the laboratory. The instruction given at the University in this subject
differs from that given in most schools of medicine in several important
respects. It is very commonly the case that the student is
brought almost at the very outset into relation with the bacteria of
disease, the whole or the larger part of the course of instruction
being given to their specific study, the technique involved in their culture
and determination, and the specific products of their activity.
These are all matters of the highest importance, and should by no
means be neglected; but exact and extensive knowledge of them may
be and too often is associated with entire ignorance of the real nature
and affinities of the Bacteria, the general principles of vegetable
physiology of which their characteristic activities constitute a special
case, and of the essential conditions on which their culture depends.
Believing that the educated physician should, as far as possible, know
the scientific principles on which his professional knowledge rests,
provision has been made for a short course which deals with the
Bacteria from the botanical standpoint, discussing the general morphology
and physiology of plants to an extent sufficient to give the studentan
intelligentidea of the place of these organisms in the vegetable
kingdom and of the relation of their life to that of other plants. This
knowledge is made the basis of the farther discussion of their economic
relations, their action as causes of disease, and of the methods resorted
to for their manipulation, the most important processes of bactericultural
technique, as far as possible, fully illustrated and demonstrated
in the laboratory. The whole course is intended to form a proper preliminary
to the specific discussion of the pathogenic bacteria which
finds its regular place in the course in Pathology.
Text-Book.—The Professor's Introduction to the Bacteria. For reference:
Sternberg's or Crookshank's Manual of Bacterology.
PATHOLOGY.
| Adjunct Professor Davis, | Mr. Wilson, |
| Dr. Skeen, | Mr. Fox. |
The principles of General and Surgical Pathology are discussed by
lectures and illustrated in the laboratory. The processes of disease
are studied in detail, with the unaided eye and with the microscope,
upon selected specimens.
Instruction is given in the method of conducting an Autopsy, in
which the object of preserving for future investigation desirable parts
is kept particularly in view. This involves pathological technic, in
which students receive a thorough drill and are allowed to retain the
preparations they make.
Practical exercises are given in Clinical Diagnosis, in which examinations
of blood, sputum, urine and faeces are required. Each student
has also to recognize by the aid of the microscope the nature of
tumors submitted to him, as a distinct test in addition to the regular
written examination covering the entire work of the course. Fidelity
to the laboratory work is an indispensable condition of success.
Under the study of Infections the Bacteria concerned are considered
in detail and made the subject of investigation in the laboratory,
which is equipped with approved modern apparatus.
A series of lectures upon the symptoms and therapeutics of Surgical
Diseases follows closely the course upon General Pathology.
In the third year Special Pathology is taken up and illustrated by
appropriate laboratory exercises, in which the lesions of the chief
diseases of each system are carefully studied.
Text-Books.—The Professor's Syllabus; Stengel's Text-Book of Pathology;
Warren's Surgical Pathology and Therapeutics; Abbott's Principles of
Bacteriology.
EMBRYOLOGY.
Professor Tuttle.
As a preliminary to the course in Obstetrics there is given a course
of lectures upon Embryology in which are discussed the formation
and maturation of the reproductive elements; the fertilization of the
ovum; the formation of the germ-layers; the embryo and foetal appendages;
and the development of the tissues and organs of the body.
While the final object sought is a clear conception of these processes
as they are known or believed to take place in the formation of the
mammalian and especially the human body, the whole subject is
treated from the comparative standpoint, as that best adapted to give
of a series of representative vertebrates is discussed and as far
as possible made the subject of practical study.
Text-Book.—Schaefer's Embryology (Vol. I, Part I of the tenth edition
of Quain's Anatomy). For reference: Marshall's Vertebrate Embryology;
Hertwig's Embryology of Vertebrates (Mark tr.);Minot's Human Embryology.
OBSTETRICS.
Professor Buckmaster.
In Obstetrics instruction is given by lectures, and the mechanical
principles involved in the study are explained by the use of suitable
preparations and models. The systematic use of the manikin with the
foetus has made it possible for the student to obtain a knowledge of
obstetric manipulation which he can acquire in no other way. Special
attention is paid to the manikin drill. The course consists of twenty-five
demonstrations and is obligatory. A special examination is held
and forms a part of the examination for graduation in obstetrics. In
order that each student may have ample opportunity to make the
demonstrations in the laboratory, the class is divided into sections not
exceeding eight men in number. Full information as to the scope of
the course will be furnished on application. The number of obstetrical
cases applying at the dispensary for treatment at their homes is
steadily increasing; the student who is detailed to take charge of such
a case is furnished with an outfit containing all the articles necessary
for the conduction of an aseptic labor. At the conclusion of each case
the student in charge is required to sterilize the towels, sheets, instruments,
etc., under the direction of the Assistant in Obstetrics; he
must also fill out and sign one of the printed forms furnished by the
Department. Such work may count in the class standing.
Text-Book.—Practice of Obstetrics, by American authors, by Charles
Jewett (Lea Bros & Co., Philadelphia).
MATERIA MEDICA AND THERAPEUTICS.
Professor Barringer.
In Materia Medica particular stress is laid upon the physiological
action of drugs as furnishing the only basis for a rational system of
therapeutics. The Department is provided with a good collection of
dealt with in the lectures. Exercises in prescription-writing are given
weekly for several months.
Text-Book.—White's Materia Medica and Therapeutics. For reference:
Brunton's Pharmacology; Wood's Materia Medica.
The subject of Therapeutics is taken up among the studies of the
fourth year. The range of the work will embrace both general and
special therapeutics, whether rational or empirical, but a constant
effort will be made throughout to trace those general underlying principles
the existence of which alone enables this subject to be called a
science. The method pursued will be that of taking up in order the
perversions of the various organs and functions rather than the individual
forms of disease.
Text-Book.—(To be named hereafter). For reference: Bruce's Materia
Medica and Therapeutics; Brunton's Pharmacology.
SURGERY.
Professor Christian.
In Operative Surgery the first aim is to ground the student thoroughly
in the principles and technique of modern aseptic surgical procedure.
All amputations and ligations, the application of splints,
bandages and apparatus for different fractures, are shown upon the
cadaver. To insure a practical knowledge of the subject, each student
will be required to perform the operations upon the cadaver as a part
of his examination for graduation.
GYNECOLOGY.
Professor Buckmaster.
In Gynecology instruction is given by lectures and recitations, and
the plastic operations necessary to repair injuries of the pelvic structures
are shown during the course. Practical training in the details
of gynecological treatment is given at the dispensary.
Text-Book.—The Professor's Syllabus. For reference: Principles and Practice
of Gynecology, by T. A. Emmet; Treatise on the Diseases of Women.
by A. J. C. Skene.
PRACTICE OF MEDICINE.
Professor Buckmaster.
The Theory and Practice of Medicine is taught in a systematic
course of lectures, which are supplemented by clinical teaching at the
Dispensary. In the year 1896-97 over three thousand patients were
treated, thus affording ample material for elementary teaching.
In the didactic lectures the author's syllabus is used as a guide for
the essential points to be considered in a careful study of the textbook.
The student is earnestly advised to use the syllabus and textbook
before hearing the lecture, as experience has shown this to be
the most effective means of obtaining a knowledge of the subject.
Text-Books.—A Hand-Book of Physical Diagnosis, etc., by R. C. M. Page;
The Principles and Practice of Medicine, by William Osler; a Treatise on
Mental and Nervous Diseases, by Landon Carter Gray; The Diseases of
Infancy and Childhood, by L. Emmet Holt.
HYGIENE.
Dr. Lambeth.
In this course the chemical and bacterial contamination of food,
water, air, and soil first engages the attention of the student. With
this preparation he takes up the natural history of contagious and
infectious diseases, their modes of propagation and methods of prevention.
Instruction is also given in the proper location and construction
of habitations, hospitals, school-houses, etc., with especial
reference to modern methods of heating, ventilating, and draining.
Notice is taken of the special relations involved in Military and Naval
Hygiene.
Text-Book.—Rohés Text-Book of Hygiene, or Egbert's Hygiene and Sanitation.
MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE.
Professor Buckmaster.
In this course the student is instructed in the principles of the
science, and taught how to apply these principles when he is summoned
as a witness in a court of law.
Text-Book.—Chapman's Medical Jurisprudence.
CLINICAL INSTRUCTION.
| Dr. Barringer, | Mr. Furniss, |
| Dr. Buckmaster, | Mr. Tucker, |
| Dr. Nelson, | Mr. Livermore, |
| Dr. Magruder, | Mr. Wilson, |
| Dr. Randolph, | Mr. Cocke, |
| Dr. Hedges, | Mr. Marxauch, |
The opportunities for clinical instruction at the University have
within the last few years been very greatly increased. The erection
and equipment of the University Dispensary and the careful consideration
of the needs of the community in this respect have built up an
out-patient department vastly in excess of the apparent possibilities
of the city, moreover, this material is utilized for purposes of instruction
to a much greater extent than is usually done in clinical teaching.
The amphitheatre is so arranged that no student is over fifteen feet
from the clinical chair or operating table (as the case may be), and
each can thus understand and appreciate all that is shown him. For
the purpose of still more definite instruction, the whole class is called
up in successive small sections to examine special cases and conditions,
the students being questioned later on the knowledge so obtained.
There is a daily clinic at the Dispensary, in each case occupying the
entire afternoon, distributed through the week as follows:
| Monday, | Dr. Buckmaster, | Medical. |
| Tuesday, | Dr. Nelson, | Surgical. |
| Wednesday, | Dr. Buckmaster, | Medical. |
| Thursday, | Dr. Magruder, | Physical Diagnosis. |
| Friday, | Dr. Hedges, | Ophthalmic. |
| Saturday, | Dr. Randolph, | Genito-urinary. |
During the past year nearly three thousand distinct cases were
treated before the students at the clinical lectures. Of these, about
six hundred each were medical, surgical, or eye and ear cases, some
five hundred were gynecological cases, and over four hundred were
cases of genito-urinary disease. In addition to the work at the Dispensary,
the class have seen in sections numerous important surgical
operations outside under the care of the clinical teachers, and a large
number of the class have been in a similar manner brought into intimate
contact with cases of serious illness of various kinds. In obstetrical
work, about fifty per cent. of the class have been able to see at
least one case each, while some members have had as many as eight
or nine cases; it is believed that more systematic arrangements can
now be made, and that in the future each member of the class can
have one or more cases during the session. Regular attendance upon
the daily clinics is required in the last year of the course.
There are appointed each year from among the best students of the
senior class in medicine a limited number of young men to serve as
clinical assistants at the Dispensary. While there is no pecuniary
opportunities for the acquisition of valuable practical knowledge.
It is with great pleasure that the Medical Faculty announce
the fact that in the immediate future the means of clinical
instruction will be much advanced by the erection and equipment
of a permanent Hospital, for which an appropriation has
been made by the Visitors of the University. This building will
be begun as soon as its structural arrangements can be carefully
worked out, and will be completed and brought into use in as
short a time as is compatible with good workmanship—in ample
time for the instruction of the class entering next session.
EXPENSES.
The necessary expenses of students in the Department of Medicine
may be estimated at from $305 upward, according to the mode of living,
for the first year; the expenses of succeeding years are somewhat
less. A fuller statement of expenses may be found in a subsequent
section.
