150 Years of the Faculty of Medicine

This illustrated book continues the story of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Sydney, initially recorded in the original Centenary Book of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Sydney published in the early 1980s. Adopting a thematic approach, the authors record the growth of the Faculty and its relationships with the University. Its educational role now extends well beyond medical students. New methods of teaching and learning are described and research has gone from cottage industry to corporate enterprise with the development of institutes and an expansion in research staff and students. The establishment of clinical schools in Sydney and in rural areas is recorded. The activities and contributions of the School of Public Health are presented. Medical students provide their own views of their experiences and activities. The diversity of the Faculty's buildings and infrastructure concludes the story.
