Postgraduate medical education in England: 100 years of solitude.

摘要

100 years ago, The Lancet published an address by William Osier-then Regius Professor of Medicine at the University of Oxford-on the need for hospitals and universities to work closely together.Osier argued that it is impossible for modern medicine to separate patient care, research, and education:"All agree that a study of the problems of disease and the training of men and women in the technique of the art come within the sphere of the university. England has suffered sadly from an absence of great medical faculties, such as exist on the Continent; and nowhere is this more evident than in the dissociation of the hospital from the university."
