Partnership for Excellence
The University of Toronto’s Faculty of Medicine is North America’s largest medical school and a major health consortium, boasting nine affiliated teaching hospitals and a network of research institutes. It is where insulin was pioneered, stem cells were first discovered, and famous physicians from Vincent Lam to Sheela Basrur began their careers. But despite all its major accomplishments, the faculty’s impressive history has never before been comprehensively documented. In Partnership for Excellence, senior medical historian and award-winning author Edward Shorter details the Faculty of Medicine’s history from its inception as a small provincial school to its present day status as an international powerhouse. Deeply researched through front-line interviews and primary sources, it ties the story of the faculty and its teaching hospitals to the general history of medicine over this period. Shorter emphasizes the enormous concentration of intellectual energy in the faculty that has allowed it to become the dominant force in Canadian medicine, home to a legion of medical pioneers and achievements.
University of Toronto; Report of the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine
Excerpt from University of Toronto; Report of the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine: Session 1923-1924 It is noteworthy that in the Session 1923-24, which has just closed, the last group of students, who began their course in Medicine under the terms of a curriculum of study of five years, graduated. The five year course is now a thing of the past; in future all undergraduates in Medicine, in the University of Toronto, will be pursuing a course of study extending over six years. The transition period between the two courses has been passed with the minimum amount of embarrassment either for the teaching staff or the students. It will, nevertheless, be an obvious advantage to have the entire bo...
University of Toronto; Report of the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine
Excerpt from University of Toronto; Report of the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine: Session 1934-1935 Momentous changes have taken place in Medicine in this University during that period. The length of the course has been increased from three to six years. A session now consists of eight months: in 1887 it was only six. At the outset, there were no whole-time teachers, or research workers in the medical sciences: these now number more than one hundred.

University of Toronto; Report of the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine
Excerpt from University of Toronto; Report of the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine: Session 1935-1936 The unfortunate overcrowding, resulting from the admission of too large a number of undergraduates in the first year, continues. The observations made by two of my colleagues in reference to this question may be cited. Professor W. E. Gallie writes: Each year I bring to your attention the calamitous effect of the constantly increasing numbers of our students on the quality of our teaching. I have no thought that it is the function of the Medical School to attempt to teach the Art of Surgery to undergraduate students, but it is becoming increasingly difficult, owing to the numbers, to teach th...
