This book is the first comprehensive history of medical student
culture and medical education in Ireland from the middle of the
nineteenth century until the 1950s. Utilising a variety of rich
sources, including novels, newspapers, student magazines, doctors'
memoirs, and oral history accounts, it examines Irish medical
student life and culture, incorporating students' educational and
extra-curricular activities at all of the Irish medical schools.
The book investigates students' experiences in the lecture theatre,
hospital, dissecting room and outside their studies, such as in
'digs', sporting teams and in student societies, illustrating how
representations of medical students changed in Ireland over the
period and examines the importance of class, religious affiliation
and the appropriate traits that students were expected to possess.
It highlights religious divisions as well as the dominance of the
middle classes in Irish medical schools while also exploring
institutional differences, the students' decisions to pursue
medical education, emigration and the experiences of women medical
students within a predominantly masculine sphere. Through an
examination of the history of medical education in Ireland, this
book builds on our understanding of the Irish medical profession
while also contributing to the wider scholarship of student life
and culture. It will appeal to those interested in the history of
medicine, the history of education and social history in modern
Ireland.
