The clinical teaching of Medicine, Surgery, and the Special Subjects, is conducted in four General Hospitals

and five Special Hospitals which together form the Clinical School of the University.

The Hospitals are:-The Royal Infirmary, the David Lewis Northern Hospital, the Royal Southern Hospital, the Stanley Hospital, the Infirmary for Children, the Hospital for Women, the Eye and Ear Infirmary, St. Paul's Eye and Ear Hospital, and St. George's Hospital for Skin Diseases.

The teaching in these institutions is under the administration of the Hospitals Board which carries out the clinical curriculum in accordance with the Ordinances and Regulations of the University. The Hospitals contain a total of 1,050 beds; 800 of these are in the General Hospitals, 250 in the Special Hospitals. In this large number of beds the School possesses a field for clinical instruction which is unrivalled in the United Kingdom, and the fact that the whole of the teaching in the hospitals is under one management ensures the employment of these extensive facilities to the best advantage.

The University is thus able to afford to students and practitioners of medicine a medical education as complete in all branches as can be obtained in any other medical school. All the hospitals are within easy access from the University. In each institution clinical teaching has been conducted for several years. At the Royal Infirmary organised teaching has been carried on since the year 1749, and at various periods subsequent to this the other hospitals have taken an active part in the education of students.

The clinical curriculum is so arranged as to afford the greatest degree of freedom compatible with efficient control. A commencement is made in the third year of medical study with instruction in clinical methods. After attending this course for a period of six months the student is admitted to the wards of the hospitals and fills the appointments of Surgical Dresser and Medical Clerk. The duties attached to these appointments

occupy four academic terms, during which the student receives daily instruction in the wards of the Hospitals and attends clinical lectures, surgical operations and other demonstrations. During this period no student is allowed to transfer his attendance from one General Hospital to another except at the commencement of a term. When these appointments are completed, a greater degree of freedom is permitted, and the various clinics of the hospitals are open to the student without restriction. At the same time attendance is recorded at the hospitals, and this has to be regular and satisfactory before certificates admitting to examination are granted. During this final period of the clinical curriculum, instruction is also given in the recognised special subjects in the special clinics of the school.

After having passed the Final examination for the degree there are numerous resident appointments open to the graduate. In the General Hospitals twenty House Physicians and House Surgeons are appointed every six months, and to most of these appointments salaries are attached. There are also six resident posts in the Special Hospitals. These appointments are made on the recommendations of the Medical Boards of the Hospitals. They are sufficiently numerous to ensure that all graduates who pass their examinations with distinction have the opportunity of obtaining further valuable experience in the practice of their profession.

POST-GRADUATE COURSES AND RESEARCH

Opportunity is given to graduates and other persons possessing suitable acquaintance with the various subjects, to obtain practical instruction or to carry out research work in the different laboratories connected with the Medical School. But in addition there are certain departments entirely devoted to post-graduate and research work, and certain classes intended especially for graduates. which may be suitably described under a common heading.

BIO-CHEMICAL DEPARTMENT

Professor MOORE

This department is devoted entirely to post-graduate teaching and research work upon Chemistry in relationship to Biology and Medicine. The laboratory is situated upon the top floor of the Johnston building, and possesses a main room designed specially for research students in Bio-Chemistry. In this room there is ample accommodation for ten workers, each with independent working space. There is also a smaller room for work requiring more isolation, a balance room, and a Departmental Library, which is gradually being stocked with the past and current literature of the subject.

Competent students desirous of undertaking research in problems of either Physiological or Pathological Chemistry can be supplied with accommodation in the laboratory.

Every assistance will be given to such students, either in working out suitable problems of their own choosing, or the Professor is prepared to suggest problems to persons having a knowledge of Bio-Chemistry and desirous of carrying on work in that subject.

Applications should be addressed to the Johnston Professor of Bio-Chemistry, at the Laboratory.

Post-graduate Instruction in Bio-Chemistry.-A postgraduate course is conducted during each term, provided there is a sufficient number of applicants, upon those parts of the subject most closely related to medical work. This course is designed to suit the requirements of medical practitioners, and treats of the Chemistry of Digestion, Metabolism, and Excretion. There are about twelve meetings of the class, each of two to three hours duration; each meeting is occupied by practical instruction. The class meets once a week, at 3 p.m., upon the day most suitable for intending members. Applications for admission should be addressed to the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine.
