Title: Medicine at Harvard
Description: "Since 1782 Harvard Medical School has been associated with most of the world's great developments in medicine, often as either creator or challenger. This generously documented assessment of Harvard's contributions contains no chronologies of names and dates. Instead, the authors use the framework of medical education to introduce the key discoveries, and the ideas that made them possible. The emphasis is upon both the men themselves- in the classroom, the laboratory, the hospital- and the medicine they made. The book fills a long-standing gap in the history of Harvard and of modern medical education."--Jacket.
