Description

In this extensively researched history of medical schools, William Rothstein, a leading historian of American medicine, traces the formation of the medical school from its origin as a source of medical lectures to its current status as a center of undergraduate and graduate medical education, biomedical research, and specialized patient care.

Using a variety of historical and sociological techniques, Rothstein accurately describes methods of medical education from one generation of doctors to the next, illustrating the changing career paths in medicine.

At the same time, this study considers medical schools within the context of the state of medical practice, institutions of medical care, and general higher education.

The most complete and thorough general history of medical education in the United States ever written, this work focuses both on the historical development of medical schools and their current status.
