About this title

Review:

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 ""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
