502.. CLINICALCLERKSHIP. One-third of the third year class are assi~

to the medical wards for twelve-week periods. During the medical d ship, time is divided equally between the Vanderbilt University Hosr and the Veterans Administration Hospital. The medical wards at \ derbilt University Hospital are compnsed of 75 ward beds used in (c;

ing, plus an additional 2.1 beds in the Clinical Research Center.

Veterans Administration Hospital has approximately 80 teaching b At Vanderbilt University Hospital these services include patients v

diseases of the nervous system and the skin in addition to general rncd patients. At the Veterans Administration Hospital there is a sep.

neurologic ward to which clinical clerks are assigned for two weeks du their medical clerkship. In addition, there is an active pulmonary ser which functions within the medical service at the Veterans Admini!

tion Hospital. Patients are under the care of members of the faculr:

medicine. Sub-departmental areas are orsanized for teaching and elie research as well as management of patIents. The clinical clerkshll regarded as the back bone of the student's training in medicine, and re sents the most intensive in-patient experience offered within the Ocr ment. It is believed that learning is most vivid through direct expen with patients, obtaining histories, doing physicals and laboratory stUi amplified by reading and by intensive contact with members of the hi staff and teaching staff. Students are given considerable responsib under the close supervision of the teaching staff. Additional mstruc is carried out during rounds with the Chief of Service. In these sessi clinical clerks present cases for discussion and criticism and the more portant fields of internal medicine are covered. Instruction in dCI

bilities for patient work-up and care in an environment that pro!

supervision and consultation from many branches of medicine. TheI term care and follow-up of ambulatory patients and further refinerneo skills in history taking and physical examination are stressed. Du this period the student becomes acquainted with the resources wi other services can bring to bear in the cooperative management of pall
