Show Dean B I. Burns THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE THE medical work given at the University of Utah, under the efficient direction of Doctor B. I. Burns, Dean of the School Medicine, covers all the subjects in the usual medical laboratory courses. It includes three years of pre-medical work to give the student a general intellectual and cultural foundation, and two years of medical work. Upon the successful completion of the latter part of the course, the student is assured admission into any of the foremost colleges in America. This assurance is traceable to the fact that the School of Medicine of the University of Utah has been awarded an "A" rating in comparison to o±er medical schools in the United States. Each department is under the direct supervision of a medical graduate who has specialized in his own field and who has been, or is, in actual contact with the clinical practice of medicine or surgery. This makes it possible to introduce the practical as well as the theoretical aspects of the work, and to effect a nice balance between laboratory and class-room divisions of the course. In order to maintain a high level of activity in the School of Medicine, admission to the first and second years of the medical course is narrowly restricted. Classes are limited to twenty-five members. Applicants for admission are selected on a scholarship basis; every jludent must have at least a "B" average. Other qualities considered are personality, leadership, industry, faculty for cooperation, adaptability, and moral character. Page 103 |
