Reviews
"Weill Cornell Medicine is a well-written, fascinating review and analysis of the history and transformation of one prominent American academic medical institution. More important, this story illuminates the seismic changes that have occurred over the past century in biomedical science in general and medical schools in particular. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the past, present, and future of American medicine and medical training."--David J. Skorton, President Emeritus, Cornell University, Weill Cornell Medicine is a valuable contribution to the history of medical education in the United States. There are relatively few histories of medical schools, and most are celebratory volumes that do not incorporate information gleaned from archival records. This institutional history provides insight into the challenges Cornell Medical College has faced since it was established by the trustees of Cornell University in 1898. The authors relied on internal reports, newspaper stories, interviews, and first-hand knowledge to explain how a series of deans and other top administrators confronted problems and seized opportunities., "Weill Cornell Medicine is a candid, well-researched, and engaging study of an American medical school as told from the perspective of each of its deans--the first traveling in his own horse and carriage, the last flying routinely across the world. The remarkable individuals described here define the personality and scope of the enterprise, make bold efforts to change as the external climate changes, tussle with the associated hospital, plan mergers (the first in 1912), sponsor new buildings, and chase the money to fulfill their dreams. Each medical school has its own idiosyncratic history, with the history of Weill Cornell Medicine intimately tied to the generosity of New York philanthropists. By focusing on leadership, however, the authors fill a hole in the broader historical literature on medical education and medical institutions. This is a great read. The dean's job is never easy!"--Rosemary A.

Synopsis
Weill Cornell Medicine is a story of continuity and transformation. Throughout its colorful history, Cornell's medical school has been a leader in education, patient care, and research--from its founding as Cornell University Medical College in 1898, to its renaming as Weill Cornell Medical College in 1998, and now in its current incarnation as Weill Cornell Medicine.In this insightful and nuanced book, dean emeritus Antonio M. Gotto Jr., MD, and Jennifer Moon situate the history of Cornell's medical school in the context of the development of modern medicine and health care. The book examines the triumphs, struggles, and controversies the medical college has undergone. It recounts events surrounding the medical school's beginnings as one of the first to accept female students, its pioneering efforts to provide health care to patients in the emerging middle class, wartime and the creation of overseas military hospitals, medical research ranging from the effects of alcohol during Prohibition to classified partnerships with the Central Intelligence Agency, and the impact of the Depression, 1960s counterculture, and the Vietnam War on the institution. The authors describe how the medical school built itself back up after nearing the brink of financial ruin in the late 1970s, with philanthropic support and a renewal of its longstanding commitments to biomedical innovation and discovery.Central to this story is the closely intertwined, and at times tumultuous, relationship between Weill Cornell and its hospital affiliate, now known as New York-Presbyterian. Today the medical school's reach extends from its home base in Manhattan to a branch campus in Qatar and to partnerships with institutions in Houston, Tanzania, and Haiti. As Weill Cornell Medicine relates, the medical college has never been better poised to improve health around the globe than it is now., In this insightful and nuanced book, dean emeritus Antonio M.
