The Town

During the two hundred years under review, medical education in Scotland evolved gradually from an apprentice system to become the prerogative of the universities of St Andrews, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh, named in the order of their foundation. Of those, the University of Edinburgh was not only the last to be founded, it differed also in that its administration initially was by the Town Council. It was an Act passed by that body on 9 February 1726, that established the Charter of the Medical Faculty of the University. Four Fellows of the Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh, namely John Rutherford, Andrew Sinclair, Andrew Plummer and John Innes were appointed foundation professors, the first two to chairs of the theory and practice of medicine, Plummer and Innes to chairs of medicine and chemistry. All four had been pupils of Boerhaave.

Interdisciplinary Integration

In its combined Baccalaureate-M.D. degree program, the University of Missouri—Kansas City School of Medicine endeavors to foster interdisciplinary integration by intertwining the humanities, clinical medicine, and basic sciences throughout the curriculum. Analysis over 6 years (1986–1991) of 547 students' scores on comprehensive examinations and ratings of 464 to 478 graduates' clinical abilities suggest that the integrative elements of the curriculum have a counterpart in performance. Such experience would recommend possible steps to encourage interdisciplinary integration at other schools: allow students to acquire disciplinary understandings but offer early clinical exposure for context and relevance, arrange productive repetition of material, pair more with less advanced students for integrated learning, and choose faculty who model integration and expect students to do so.
