' 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.

In addition to the responsibility of teaching microbiology, the de- partment also maintains a diagnostic infectious service for the hospital and provides an advanced training pro- gram for the center. Training leading to a M.S. or Ph.D. degree in microbiology is offered to the graduate student of the university.
