Medicine in Maryland: The Practice and the Profession, 1799-1999Entry/Object ID
2019-0042-0002Description
According to Jane Eliot Sewell, the Maryland medical experience has been a study in diversity, with sharp divisions along gender, racial, class, religious, and geographical lines. This diversity of medical practice partly reflects the general development of American medicine. Yet in other ways, she argues, the history of Maryland medicine is unique. Among the topics covered are the development of the Medical Hall in late eighteenth-century Harford County, the evolution of the teaching hospital that became the University of Maryland, and the origins of the scientific tradition established at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Medical School, and School of Public Health.
