health center dentistry school begins drilling in ' 69 The College of Medicine has embarked upon a program to develop, coordinate and strengthen educational programs leading to professional study in medicine and the health and biological sciences. This program is to strengthen relationships between the medical school and other professional schools and undergraduate colleges. This new program focuses on all phases of recruitment, counseling and preparation of undergraduate students for professional and medical education. It is closely related to a review and change of the medical school curriulum which will be beneficial to the student. The College of Medicine offers a four- year program leading to the M.D. degree. The college is located in the University J. Hillis Miller Health Center. The first class of 40 students was graduated in 1960. Today there are 235 medical students enrolled in the College. In addition, the college has students working in departmental programs leading to a Ph.D. degree in the medical sciences. In the third year, students spend nine weeks each in psychiatric, obstetrical and gynecological, medical pediatric and surgical clerkships. The last year includes clinical experience in pharmacology, general and radiological clerkships and work in areas of particular interest to the student. In the third and fourth year, medical students are assigned day-by-day patient duties. Two medical disciplines—anesthesiology and ophthalmology—achieved departmental status within the past year, making a total of 14 departments for the College of Medicine. Dr. Edmund F.
