The Renaissance of American Medicine: A Century of New Learning and Caring

By Alan C. Mermann

The Renaissance of American Medicine presents an historical overview of medicine in the early years of American history that set the stage for a remarkable renewal in the profession: in its teaching, training, and practice. This study examines in some detail the accepted bases of medical education and practice between 1830 and 1920. The focus is upon individual physicians who saw the need for changes, for new methods of education, and for intelligent criticism of professional status and accepted methods of practice. This study makes a great reference book for students of history and/or medicine.
