The procedures learned in this course are of great importance in the junior and senior rotations, where laboratory work is included in the students ' duties. In both the junior and senior years one quarter is spent on one of the medical wards or in the Medical Out-Patient Clinic. Some of the students spend all or Division of Cardiovascular a pari o! one of these rotations on the medical ward; at the Durham V.A. Hospital. On the Medical Service the student learns total patient care. Patients arc worked up completely, and the student is given respon- sibilit) commensurate with his ability and experience. 1 here is emphasis on indiyidu.il instruction by the members ol the house staff, who are always reach ' to lend a helping hand at any time of the day or night. Tin teaching by the senior staff is done at the bedside and in small groups on morning rounds. Bedside teach- ing is supplemented by noon conferences and special lectures and teaching sessions. The students find their rotations on the Medical Service to be extremely im- portant parts of their training, regardless of their future plans possibly in other fields. They are made to realize the importance of caring for the whole patient no matter how limited his basic disorder. Many long hours are spent with sick patients, in the labs, and in the library searching for information which might help in the management of the patient and the understanding of his disease process. It is particularly useful to the student to be encouraged to search the literature for references on the diseases which he is treating. This helps one to realize that the material in books is often out of date and that in order to keep abreast of the latest methods of diagnosis and treatment, he must go to the literature. and Renal Diseases Left to right: Mcintosh, Shelburne, Roberts, Sleeper, Cohen, Estes, Sumner, Floyd, Whale twenty n, Orgain (Chiel ), Ir

' 1 his department, which includes the various aspects ol bacteriology, mycology, parasitology, and virology, has a major role in preparing the second year student for his clinical years. Throughout the teaching pro- gram, the study ol the physiology, biochemistry, and the life cycles of microorganisms is correlated with the pathogenesis and symptomatology of the disease pro- duced in man. In the laboratory, the student is taught all the methods and procedures employed in bacterio- logic laboratories. In addition to personal exercises in technique, ample materials and demonstrations are available for the student ' s use. Most of the lecture time- is devoted to the immunologic and epidemiologic as- pects of infection. Instruction is designed to give the student a clear concept of how organisms get into the body, the nature of the toxins produced, the nature of the host immune reaction and the methods of disease prevention by immunization. During the study of viruses, the student is instructed in the use of the elec- tron microscope. In the clinical years on medicine, the Norman F.
