About this episode

The episode discusses changes in medical education and the role of hospitals in the 19th century as outlined in Paul Starr's book.

Today we continue Paul Starr's book "The Social Transformation of American Medicine", with chapters 3 and 4. These cover the changes that occurred in medical education during the later half of the 19th century, as well as the importance that hospitals and scientific achievements had on solidifying the prestigious role doctors came to have in US society.
