American Medical Schools and the Practice of Medicine Reviews

This work... deserves the attention of all who have an interest in medical education and its history. It relies on the accurate use of statistics, provides careful analysis, and incorporates a goldmine of information on Americal medical care and education. Rothstein has produced a remarkable book that will provide historians of medicine, medical educators, health service administrators, and others interested in health care with information not available in any other treatise. I have no hesitation in recommending it unreservedly. * British Medical Journal *
