In preparation for these studies it may be mentioned that high school physics and chemistry are necessary in order to enroll in the beginning university courses in the same subjects. Whereas these requirements as specified will be accepted for admission in the medical school, it should be pointed out that it is highly desirable that the student should not content himself with the acquisition of a junior certificate, but should take at least three years of college work, if possible. By this means not only is more time offered for work in subjects of general culture outside the scientific requirements but by a combined eight-year course (three years as an undergraduate in the university and five years in the medical school) the two degrees of A.B. and M.D. may be obtained.

Students taking the combined course have the privilege of broad

election from the various departments of the University, and they are advised to make their selection from subjects not related to the specific requirements.

The faculty of the Medical School is authorized to refuse admission to students who have a low academic record.

ADMISSION TO ADVANCED STANDING

Applicants for admission to advanced standing may become candidates for the degree of M.D. under the following conditions: (1) They must furnish evidence that they were eligible for admission to the first year of this school. (2) They must show that courses equivalent in kind and amount to those given in this school in the year or years preceding that to which admission is desired have been satisfactorily completed in an acceptable medical school.* Students taking work at a college with a lower classification will not be granted credit. (3) At the discretion of the Dean, they must be prepared to pass examinations in those subjects for which they ask credit.

INSTRUCTION FOR GRADUATES IN MEDICINE

Graduates in medicine may arrange with the heads of the different departments for special work. Graduate students may enter at any time during the year and must register at the Dean's office before beginning work.

Except under extraordinary circumstances and at the discretion of the Advisory Board of the Medical Faculty, persons who have already received the degree of Doctor of Medicine will not be admitted as candidates for that degree from this University.

CLASS STANDING AND EXAMINATION

The judgment of an instructor upon the work of a student may be determined by (a) personal contact and observation of routine work, (b) by oral, written or practical examination, (c) by a combination of these methods.

It is optional with each department whether students are examined at the end of each course or examined when the work of a department is completed.

For the determination of the students' right to advancement and graduation each department makes such rules as it deems necessary, and

By an acceptable medical school is meant one classified as "A" by the American Medical Association, and whose entrance requirements are equivalent to those of this School.

the result is indicated as "Passed with Honor," "Passed," or "Not Passed."

At the end of the third half-year and at the end of the period of required work the students' records are referred to the respective committees on instruction for review. Students who fail to pass in any two major subjects, in one major and three minor subjects, or in six minor subjects may be dropped from the Medical School. Students who fail to pass in a major subject or in three minor subjects will be placed on probation and must take a second examination before the following halfyear. Students who fail in the second examination may be dropped from the Medical School.

Students who have an unabsolved failure in any one subject of the first three half-years will not be permitted to enter the third year except by recommendation of the Advisory Board of the Medical School.

Students who have an unabsolved failure at the end of the fourth year will not be recommended as entitled to the degree of Doctor of Medicine or permitted to enter their intern year until the failure is absolved in such manner as may be indicated by the Advisory Board of the Medical School.

The Faculty reserves the right to sever the connection of any student with the Medical School at any time for what it deems either mental, physical, or moral unfitness for a career in medicine.

LEAVES OF ABSENCE

Students who withdraw from the Medical School without notice or who fail to report after a leave of absence may have their connection with the Medical School terminated.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

The candidate for the degree of Doctor of Medicine must have attained the age of twenty-one years and must be of good moral character. He must have studied medicine for four full years and must have attended four annual courses as a matriculated student (not including the fifth, or intern year), the last of which has been spent in this school. He must have completed the required work, have fulfilled satisfactorily all special requirements, and have received a satisfactory grade throughout the entire medical course. He must have discharged all indebtedness to the school.

FIFTH YEAR

Students are required to supplement the academic course in medicine with a year as intern in an approved hospital or laboratory, or as a

special worker in a department of the Medical School. Qualified students may take their year's laboratory work after the third semester.

During the period of the war the fifth year requirement may be suspended for those students desiring to enter the army or navy.

CURRICULUM IN PUBLIC HEALTH

At the beginning of the second half of the fourth year in the Medical School students may elect to enter Public Health Curriculum C. This curriculum extends over a year and a half, and on its satisfactory completion the candidate is granted the degrees of Doctor of Medicine and Graduate in Public Health (Gr.P.H.).

The first year is devoted to courses offered by the various colleges of the University in Berkeley and the last half-year is devoted to work given in the Medical School.

For students in public health and graduates in sanitary engineering provision is made in Public Health Curricula A and B, each leading to the degree of Graduate in Public Health. The instruction of the last year in each of these two curricula is given in the Medical School. Outlines of these curricula will be found in the Announcement of the Graduate Division and the Circular of Information, Academic Departments.
