Excerpt from Intellectual and Educational Status of the Medical Profession as Represented in the United States Army
The data of this report justify the statement that the Medical Corps obtained the services of the ablest as well as the weakest men of the profession. Had the latter been eliminated by a rigorous procedure of intelligence tests, combined with professional exami nation, the status of the group would undoubtedly have compared favorably with that of any other professional group in the army.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the status of the medical profession during World War I by analyzing psychological profiles of over 2500 U.S. military medical officers. The study discovered that many had lower-than-average intelligence scores compared to other army branches, despite extensive experience due to a less rigorous recruitment process within the Medical Department. The measured intelligence and performance of medical professionals also showed significant variation based on factors such as age, education, and specialization. Despite these findings, medical officers of higher rank tended to exhibit greater intelligence. The book highlights the need to improve medical school selection processes and professional training to enhance the overall quality and competence of the profession.
