100 years of graduate medical education in Wilmington, Delaware.
In July 1902, Dr. William R. Bready, Jr., began a one-year internship at the Delaware Hospital. In the ensuing 100 years, Delaware Hospital, Wilmington General Hospital, Memorial (formerly Homeopathic) Hospital, and its successors have educated nearly 2,800 physicians. In June of 2002, Christiana Care Health System will graduate 53 physicians in the fields of Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Radiology, and Surgery, continuing a tradition that has been unbroken for these 100 years. This article recounts parts of that history and celebrates this century of medical education in Delaware.
