Produktbeschreibung

"In many ways, this is the best one-volume history of an American medical school yet to appear. Thoroughly researched, unusually well written, it traces the modern history of a major Southern medical school against the background of national currents in science, medicine, and philanthropy.""--American Historical Review" "" "This book is well documented and intensely readable; it makes a valuable contribution to the history of medical education in the United States and the part played by Vanderbilt University.""--New England"" Journal of Medicine " "" ""Making Medical Doctors "is not a conventional institutional history but rather a study of the union of science and medicine in a particularly illustrative university setting. The joining is told by recounting the history of one of the nation's most distinguished medical schools--the Vanderbilt University Medical School, which was rebuilt in the 1920s as a model for medical education and research.""--Journal of Southern History"
