Description

 
Making Medical Doctors isn’t a conventional institutional history, but moderately a study of the union of science and medicine in a particularly illustrative institutional setting. Its genral subject is the institution where science and medicine most dramatically came together: the up to date medical school and medical center. Its particular subject is the medical school and center of Vanderbilt University, which was once rebuilt within the 1920s as a model for medical education and research. Making Medical Doctors also explores the intellectual and financial sources of institutional development: the worlds of Abraham Flexner, Frederick T. Gates, and Henry S. Pritchett, three foundation masters of the early 20th century. It examines closely the vanished medical world of that generation of doctors who reached the height in their influence within the period between the 2 world wars and describes how they if truth be told did medicine, surgery, and science.
            The convergence of science and medicine within the 19th and 20th centuries produced what we all know nowadays as up to date medicine. The balance of power and interdependence between science and medicine have changed vastly from the 1920s and 1930s, as Vanderbilt’s story clearly illustrates.
