Description

Not Just Any Medical School details the establishment of the University of Michigan Medical School. It provides a picture of its students, curriculum, amphitheaters, laboratories, hospitals, and patients as seen in the course of the eyes of its leading faculty members and documented by their published works, lecture notes, and other number one and secondary sources.
The book begins with the number of the primary five professors and continues in the course of the appointment of statesman and scientist Victor Vaughan as dean and his successors to 1941. Organized by specialty, the material is chronological within chapters. Illustrations include student and faculty scenes, hospital interiors and exteriors, and medical apparatus. The narrative includes a large number of direct quotes from research papers, lectures, and letters illustrating that Michigan was once “not just any medical school.” The various significant medical and scientific advances that originated at Michigan are described in detail.
Appearing together with the sesquicentennial of the Medical School, Not Just Any Medical School will appeal to these interested within the history of medicine and particularly to these with a connection to the University of Michigan.
Horace Davenport is William Beaumont Professor Emeritus of Physiology, University of Michigan.
