Western medical schools--a breed apart.
The 16 medical schools in the 13 western states are distinctive from their counterparts nationally in several ways: they are relatively young, enroll a small number of medical students, and tend to be strongly research oriented. The rise of these institutions since Abraham Flexner's visit to all of the western schools in 1909 reflects a truly remarkable development.
