The first collective record of the evolution of general medical
practice as an academic discipline over half a century. This
anthology captures the stories of the early struggles to set up
university departments between visionary supporters and
traditionalist blockers as well as the steadily increasing
successes aided by a dedicated funding system. The accounts are
written where possible by the people involved in the early
developments of their subject. These tales are of vision,
commitment and resilience and are interesting both in their own
right and for the more general lessons they tell us about the
processes of creating institutional change within a modern
democracy. * Demonstrates the radical shifts in the shape of
medical education in the last two decades * Provides vivid personal
accounts from early academic leaders * Includes comment on
contemporary medical and educational developments

were the cradle for the evolution of all life forms, the theme of

environment, this book aims to present the reader with a sampler of
the exciting research that is underway and to provide an
