The accounts are written where possible by the people involved in the early developments of their subject. These tales are of vision, commitment and resilience and are interesting both in their own right and for the more general lessons they tell us about the processes of creating institutional change within a modern democracy.Key FeaturesDemonstrates the radical shifts in the shape of medical education in the last two decadesProvides vivid personal accounts from early academic leadersIncludes comment on contemporary medical and educational developments
