The University of Toronto's Faculty of Medicine is North America's
largest medical school and a major health consortium, boasting nine
affiliated teaching hospitals and a network of research institutes.
It is where insulin was pioneered, stem cells were first
discovered, and famous physicians from Vincent Lam to Sheela Basrur
began their careers. But despite all its major accomplishments, the
faculty's impressive history has never before been comprehensively
documented. In Partnership for Excellence, senior medical historian
and award-winning author Edward Shorter details the Faculty of
Medicine's history from its inception as a small provincial school
to its present day status as an international powerhouse. Deeply
researched through front-line interviews and primary sources, it
ties the story of the faculty and its teaching hospitals to the
general history of medicine over this period. Shorter emphasizes
the enormous concentration of intellectual energy in the faculty
that has allowed it to become the dominant force in Canadian
medicine, home to a legion of medical pioneers and achievements.
