' 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.

The fundamentals of obstetrics, gynecology, and en- docrinology are taught to the students and integrated with the other sections of the course. The techniques of the gynecologic examination are demonstrated to and performed by the students on Physical Diagnosis in the Ob-Gyn Clinic. Close supervision is provided by the house stall and members of the senior staff. The major contact which the student has with the Ob-Gyn Department comes in the junior quarter which is spent on this service. In the nine weeks spent on Ob , as it is known by most of us, the student sees patients in the clinic and on the wards.
