REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION* A preliminary collegiate preparation is required for the course in medicine, and men and women are admitted on the same terms. As candidates for the degree of Doctor of Medicine the School receives the following: 1. Graduates of approved colleges or scientific schools who present evidence of a satisfactory training in Chemistry, Physics and Biology and a reading knowledge of German or French. The courses in chemistry must include Inorganic and Organic Chemistry. 2. Students in the College of Letters and Science of this University who have attained senior standing, may, at the beginning of their fourth or senior year in the University, register as students in the Medical School, and upon completion of the first year in the Medical School, may receive the Bachelor's degree in the College of Letters and Science. Such students must also furnish evidence that they have had a satisfactory training in Chemistry, Physics, and Biology and that they possess a reading knowledge of German or French. 3. Students who have satisfactorily completed at least two full years of collegiate work and who have received the Junior Certificate of this University, or its equivalent. The studies pursued during the two years which lead to the Junior Certificate include English, American History and Civics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology (Zoology), and German or French. Applicants for admission to the Medical School who have pursued their premedical studies in some other University must submit credentials from the institution in which they have studied. This statement should include the number of hours devoted to class- and laboratory-work and also the grade received in each subject. For the guidance of those who wish to arrange their preliminary training the following courses given in this University present the minimum of satisfactory preparation in the sciences named: (numbers refer to the Announcement of Courses for 1915-16); Physics 2A-2B, and 3B or 4B; Chemistry 1A-1B, 8B, 9; Zoology 1A, 5. These courses are described below: *All inquiries should be addressed to the Dean of The University of California Medical School. 2A-2B; 4A-4B. General Physics. PHYSICS Professor LEWIS and Associate Professor RAYMOND Lectures with experimental illustration, recitations, and problems. Mechanics, properties of matter, heat, sound, light, energy transformation, electricity, and magnetism. 2A-2B. Lectures. Professor LEWIS. Mechanics, properties of matter, heat, sound, light, energy transformation, electricity, and magnetism. 3 hrs., throughout the year; 2 units each half-year. Tu Th S, 11.

Prerequisite: matriculation subject 11. Some knowledge of elementary plane trigonometry is desirable. The prerequisite to courses 2A-2B and 4A-4B may be waived in special cases of distinct merit. 3A-3B. Physical Measurement. Associate Professor MINOR. Experimental work in mechanics, properties of matter, heat, sound, light, electricity and magnetism, requiring quantitative results. Methods are selected so as to show instructive relations of physical principles, and their adaptation to practical problems. Laboratory exercises twice a week. These courses are usually taken in conjunc tion with 2A-2B, 4A-4B. Prerequisite: matriculation subject 11. 6 hrs., throughout the year; 2 units each half-year. Tu Th, 1-4 CHEMISTRY 1A-1B. General Inorganic Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis. 3 hrs., lectures and quiz, and 4 hrs. laboratory work, throughout the year; 5 units each half-year. Lectures and quiz. Assistant Professor HILDEBRAND; Professor LEWIS, Assistant Pro fessors BOOTH, BRAY and TOLMAN, Drs. ROSENSTEIN, GIBSON, ADAMS, ARGO and BRANCH. Two sections: M W F, 9; M W F, 10. Laboratory. Assistant Professors BOOTH and BRAY, Professor LEWIS, Assistant Professor HILDEBRAND, Drs. ROSENSTEIN, GIBSON, ADAMS, ARGO, and BRANCH. Four sections: I, M F, 1-3; II, Tu Th, 9-11; III, Tu Th, 1-3; IV, W, 1-3, S 9-11. Prerequisite: matriculation chemistry subject 12b. In special cases students who have credit for matriculation physics may be allowed to take this course without the chemistry prerequisite, but in no case without the written consent of the instructor. 8A-8B. Elements of Organic Chemistry. Assistant Professor BIDdle. An introductory study of the compounds of carbon. Recitations and lectures with experimental illustrations. Laboratory course 9 should, if possible, accompany this course. 2 hrs., throughout the year. Lectures, Tu Th, 8. Fortnightly quiz, hour to be arranged, probably M or Tu, 4. 9. Elements of Organic Chemistry: Laboratory. Assistant Professor BIddle. A comparative experimental study of the physical properties and chemical reactions of the more commonly occurring classes of organic substances. Supplementary to course 8A-8B and open to all students pursuing that course. to 9 hrs, either half-year, 2 to 3 units. M W, M F, or M W F, 1–4. 1A. General Zoology. ZOOLOGY Associate Professor HOLMES, Mr. BARROWS and Assistants. An introduction to the facts and principles of animal biology, with special reference to the structure, functions, and evolution of animal life. Lectures 2 hrs., demonstrations, 4 hrs., first half-year; 4 units. Lectures Tu Th, 10. Demonstrations, four sections: I, M F, 2-4; II, Tu Th, 8-10; III, Tu Th, 2-4; IV, W, 2-4, S, 8-10. The laboratory exercises are essentially illustrative of lectures and are based on the examination of living and prepared specimens, supplemented by models and charts. 5. Elementary Embryology. Dr. LONG and Mr. PRATT. 8 hrs., second half-year; 4 units. Lecture Tu 1h, 8; laboratory Tu Th S. 10-12. Prerequisite: course la. 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 should elect work of some of the following departments: English, Philosophy, Economics, History, Political Science, Education, and Anthropology. 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. Lectures and clinics of interest to practitioners are held on Saturday mornings; for attendance upon these registration is not necessary. 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. * 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. |
