Transforming Medical Education

Transforming Medical Education compiles twenty-one historical case studies that critically foreground processes of learning, teaching, and defining medical communities in educational contexts. As a collection, this book makes a powerful argument about the contextual diversity of instruction and identity formation in medicine.

"This is probably the most important synthesis of the history of medical education since the collective work edited by Charles D.O’Malley in 1970 ... It should be a primary reference for anyone researching or teaching the history of medical education … and is also a strong reference for making the case in favour of the teaching of history in medical faculties." *Medical History *

“Presenting several original perspectives based in archival research, Transforming Medical Education reaches beyond medical education to treat themes such as the structure of modern universities, intellectual and cultural history, the history of nursing, Canadian and American history, and post-secondary education studies. In particular, the inclusion of an interview with Professor Jacalyn Duffin is a significant historical contribution.” Frank Stahnisch, University of Calgary and author of A New Field in Mind: A History of Interdisciplinarity in the Early Brain Sciences
