Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Medical Education in Europe: A Report to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching In June, 1910, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching published a report on medical education in the United States and Canada. This report not only dealt with the conditions of the medical schools in the United States and Canada, but also attempted an analysis of the problem of medical education. The publication of that report met with immediate response not only from the teachers of medicine in America, but from the medical profession itself, and there was a prompt suggestion that the Foundation continue the work thus begun by a study of medical education in leading European nations. The present report on medical education in the German Empire, Austria, France, England, and Scotland is therefore the outcome of the first report on medical education in the United States and Canada, and is to a very large extent a necessary supplement to it. It has been carried out under the direction of the Foundation by Mr. Abraham Flexner, who made the previous report. Its plan follows essentially the general plan adopted in the former bulletin. First, there is given an historical statement, which attempts in brief compass to describe the background upon which modem medical education in Europe is to be studied, and the point of departure from which the present undertaking is begun. Like its predecessor, this report concerns itself thereupon with the basis of medical education and the relation of education in medicine to the general system of schools. It considers next the laboratory branches, and following these in succession the clinical studies and the hospital as related to the problem of practical clinical training. Adhering also to the course previously pursued, the author has taken up later the financial aspects of medical education, medical sects, postgraduate education, and the medical training of women. Throughout, the influence of university status on medical education is contrasted with the influence of proprietary conditions. There is, however, to be noted this marked difference. The bulletin dealing with medical education in the United States and Canada was intended, among other things, for the specific use of the medical schools in these countries. It aimed to describe and to discuss in detail the conditions prevailing in each of the one hundred and fifty-five medical schools then existing in the United States and Canada. The present report is intended to give not a detailed account of the separate schools existing in Germany, France, and England, but rather a picture of contemporary medical education in these countries. The study, therefore, is based upon an examination of representative medical schools and institutions in each country, not upon the examination of every medical establishment. For this reason, no attempt is made to include a separate inventory of every school in the several countries discussed.
