' The Clinic Staff of the College is composed of practicing physicians and surgeons, each of whom is well prepared to handle the type of case referred to his department. The Clinic offers upperclassmen an opportunity to take part in the diagnosis and treat' ment of a wide variety of cases. Approximately one hundred patients are treated daily in the clinic, and the chances for students to become acquainted with the problems and demands of a general practice are assured. While the primary function of the clinic is to train students in purely osteopathic methods of treatment of disease, a large number of cases requiring surgical or other special treatment are obtained. These cases are referred to the departments especially pref pared to handle that type of case. ' ' As there is ample clinical material available, the following plan is used: After enrolling the patient in the clinic, a careful case history is taken together with routine laboratory examination, after which the patient is taken before the general clinic for a physical examination, and, if indicated, additional laboratory and XfRay examinations, together with a careful examination in the special clinics. A diagnosis is then arrived at and the treatment is outlined, after which the patient is treated by the student under the supervision of the clinicians. The splendid clinical facilities and practical nature of the instruction available at this college make it possible to turn out physicians well qualified to handle the demands of a general practice. l20il

Anatomy from the Cadlaver Instruction in descriptive anatomy has undergone many changes throughout the years. Methods have ranged from pure didactics on the one hand to practical demonstration upon the cadaver on the other. Kansas City College of Osteopathy and Surgery has been inclined always toward the practical side of profession teaching. It has insisted from the start that each student should have the benefit of seeing and of doing as well as of hearing. In line with this policy its courses in fresh' man anatomy have been designed to combine the best lecture material with the best of practical demonstration. The cut shows Dr. Styles pointing out to his class upon the body itself anatomic facts which he has previously described and explained in the classroom. This method of teaching freshman anatomy has proven very popular and very practical. E19l
