Sophomore Year

The conceited and worldly Sophomore is
allowed entrance now to the Ohio College
of Chiropody, after having passed success-
fully his pre-requisites.

The Sophomore within a short time finds
that deep concentration and intensified study
is the only possible way to take in stride the
ten subjects he is to master in this year.

He is given a very thorough course in
ANATOMY, grossly covering the whole
body and especially in detail the structural
and anatomical features of the lower ex-
tremity. This is visualized by the prosection
of a cadaver by the instructor. With the
background attained in the basic sciences,
the student finds the microscopic studies of
HISTOLOGY AND BACTERIOLOGY,
along with the laboratory courses given in
conjunction with each, designed to help him
comprehend the complimental and conting-
ent study of Pathology given in detail in the
Junior year.

Basic · courses of PHYSIOLOGY, OR-
GANIC CHEMISTRY AND CHIROP-
ODY are given to prepare the student for
advanced work to come.

HYGIENE AND SANITATION give
the exacting knowledge relative to every day
problems.

Of equal importance too, is the course of
PHARMACY which consists of lectures and
laboratory demonstrations of fundamentals
in Pharmacy and Pharmocology.

To insure a thorough understanding,
MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY is given and
a complete course of FIRST-AID is also
given.

The Sophomore year also includes the in~
troduction of clinic procedure by 100 hours
of strict observation in methods and pro-
cedures.

Forty

Junior Year

Intermediary courses designed to co-relate
Freshman and Sophomore year courses with
advanced clinical practice are stressed.

Many of these courses provide an intro-
ductory knowledge of subjects which are
necessary for the beginning students in the
clinics. Among these subjects are:

ROENTGENOLOGY which gives the stu-
dent the understanding of the application of
the roentgen-ray in diagnosis and treatment.

PHYSIO-THERAPY course consists of
lectures and demonstrations of the principles
of electricity, how produced, its classifica-
tion and the uses of the various modalities.

NEUROLOGY course consists of embry-
ology, anatomy, physiology of nervous sys-
tem and reflexes. It covers all phases of dis-
eases of the nervous system.

PATHOLOGY shows the structural, func-
tional and chemical changes induced in the
body by disease, in conjunction with inten-
sified laboratory courses.

Other of the courses offered in the Junior
year are advanced courses and better orien-
tate the student in Chiropodial subjects.
These include:

ORTHOPEDICS, SHOE THERAPY,
CHIROPODY, SURGERY, PHYSIOLO-
GY, ANATOMY, MATERIA MEDICA,
CHIROPODIAL MECHANICS, and MED-
ICINE. The correlation of the above men-
tioned subjects stress the treatment, and pre-
vention of disabilities and diseases of the
lower extremities.

Forty-One

Senior Year

The courses given during this year are of
a practical nature and include advanced
work in the subjects given during the third
year. The important phase of this year's
work is the broad clinical program required
of each student which creates a thorough
training in the principles and practice of
Chiropody. By the completition of this year,
the student must have spent 1,000 hours in
the school clinics, in addition to the study-
ing of advanced courses offered in this year.

Continuation of the basic course of Sur-
gery in the Junior year is followed by OR-
THOPEDIC SURGERY and SURGICAL
ANATOMY which give the Senior the fin-
ishing touches on the latest information and
methods known about surgery of the lower
extremities.

PHYSICAL DIAGNOSIS stresses the im-
portance of diagnosis and correlates the
knowledge obtained in ORTHOPEDICS;
CIRCULATORY DISEASES, DERMA-
TOLOGY, PSYCHIATRY, TOXICOLO-
GY, and MEDICINE in order that diag-
nosis be possible in clinical cases.

In addition, subjects include a completely
practical course in PHYSIO-THERAPY.
PHYSIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY of the
body and its laboratory aspects are consid-
ered in detail. MEDICAL JURISPRU-
DENCE AND ECONOMICS are given to
inform the various legal aspects of the laws
governing Chiropody, in order that the stu-
dent may practice Chiropody intelligently
and lawfully.

Internship and Clinic Practice

The college is heartily in accord with the
efforts of the various states wherein the pro-
fessional requirements for Chiropody are be-
ing or have been increased. To this end, a
fifth year of training designated the Intern-
ship has been added to satisfy certain state
requirements. This year is devoted almost
entirely to intense clinical practice in all of
the departments of the Foot Clinics of
Cleveland. Ample time is also included for
con£erences, and special work in which the
interne exhibits a personal interest. He too,
devotes time and energy to help orientate
the undergraduates in clinic procedures.

All clinical departments require Junior
and Senior students to earn a minimum
number of clinical hours in each branch of
practice. The total minimum number of
hours required for graduation will be deter-
mined by the Dean and Board of Trustees
but which at the present time is 1,000 clinic
hours.

This method insures a thorough covering
by the individual students of every phase of
the practice and technique.
