 Utah Medical School

  .
The only medical school in Utah is the medical department of the University of Utah. It does not confer degrees, but gives a course of two years—the first two years of the curriculum of accredited medical colleges—thus preparing students for admission to such institutions. The course embraces anatomy, physiology, chemistry, bacteriology, laboratory work, principles of medicine, principles of surgery, minor surgery, physical diagnosis, pharmacology and pathology.

Students who take this course are well prepared to enter any regular medical college as students of the third year and receive their degree after two years of study. The instructors in the medical department of the University of Utah are men well qualified for their positions, most of them being practicing physicians of education and experience, and the probabilities are that within a few years, as the number of students increases, the department will become a full fledged medical college.
