Synopsis

This book is a riveting account of the origins and development of medical education in New York, from the founding of King's College in 1750 through the opening of the New York University in 1831. The author traces the history of medical schools in the city, beginning with the first medical school organized under the direction of the college of the province of New York. The author explores the complex relationship between the professors and the trustees of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, which was originally founded as a partnership but quickly succumbed to conflicting interests and power struggles. The book provides a detailed account of how these conflicts ultimately led to the resignation of the professors and the founding of a new medical school, Rutgers College.
