Medical Education in the United States and Canada: A Report to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Medical Education in the United States and Canada: A Report to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of TeachingThe attitude of the Foundation is that all colleges and universities, whether sup ported by taxation or by private endowment, are in truth public service corporations, and that the public is entitled to know the facts concerning their administration and development, whether those facts pertain to the financial or to the educational side. We believe, therefore, that in seeking to present an accurate and fair statement of the work and the facilities of the medical schools of this country, we are serving the best possible purpose which such an agency as the Foundation can serve; and, further more, that only by such publicity can the true interests of education and of the universities themselves be subserved. In such a reasonable publicity lies the hope for progress in medical education.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
