commencement of his study of the subjects comprising the medical curri-
culum and the date of his final qualifying examination; provided that
the last three years of the period must have been spent in the continuous
study of the clinical group of subjects.

    2. That the first two years should be occupied in the study of the
professional scientific subjects with an introduction to clinical methods,
and that no student should be certified as attending classes in the clinical
group of subjects until he has satisfied the Examiners that he has a com-
petent knowledge of the subjects of these two years. This examination
need not include clinical methods.

    3. That throughout the whole period of study the attention of the
student should be directed by his teachers to the importance of the
preventive aspects of medicine, and of measures for the assessment and
maintenance of normal health.

    In every course of professional study, and in the examinations, the fol-
lowing subjects should be included:—

III. Period of Study of the Professional Scientific subjects (first two years).

    1. Human Anatomy and Physiology. These courses should include:—

       (a) Dissection of the entire body.

       (b) Histology.

       (c) Elements of human embryology.

       (d) The principles of general physiology, including Bio-chemistry
        and Bio-physics, and, in the case of those Universities in
        which no provision has been made for teaching the subject
        in the pre-medical course, Organic Chemistry.

       (e) Elements of genetics (N.B.—This subject may be taken with
        biology).

       (f) Elementary normal psychology.

       (g) The normal reactions of the body to injury and infection, as an
       introduction to general pathology and bacteriology.

       (h) Elements of the methods of clinical examination, including
        the use of the common instruments and the examination of
        body fluids, with demonstrations on both normal and
       abnormal living subjects.

       (i) An introduction to pharmacology.

    Note.—Instruction under the last three headings above should be given during the
second year, by arrangement between the teachers of anatomy, physiology, and phar-
macology, and of the clinical subjects concerned.

    The amount of time allotted to these subjects should not be more than one-third
of the total time available in that year.

    The demonstration of structure and function in the teaching of anatomy and
physiology should be done as far as possible on the living human subject, and should
Include the information to be obtained from radiology.
