Students who fail to appear at the regular examinations will not be examined until the next regular examination, except by special permission of the Faculty, and in this event an extra fee of $5.00 will be charged. Students who fail to pass satisfactorily their practical laboratory examinations will be required to repeat the laboratory courses and pay the regular laboratory fees. Students will not be admitted to examination unless they have paid all fees due at the time or present a permit signed by the Treasurer. In order to avail themselves of the privilege of re-examination students must file their applications with the Dean not later than fifteen days before the date set for the examinations.

In addition to the examinations students are required: To dissect satisfactorily one lateral half of a cadaver; to report satisfactorily an analysis of specimen of urine and a clinical examination of a specimen of blood; to examine and report upon six clinical cases in general medicine and two cases in surgery; to perform satisfactorily two major surgical operations upon the cadaver; to work not less than two weeks in the Dispensary Service of the University or other hospitals; to work not less than two weeks in the Clinical Laboratory of the University or of some other hospital approved by the Dean; to take charge of three or more obstetrical cases and to report thereon; to examine and report on one case in either ophthalmology, laryngology, otology, dermatology, or orthopedics; to report upon one case in gynecology.
