Medical Education in Milwaukee: The First 100 Years

 

                In 1848, Wisconsin Territorial Governor Henry Dodge signed legislation that called for the establishment of the Wisconsin Medical College in Milwaukee.  It would be another 45 years before Wisconsin’s first sustainable medical school would be established in 1893.  Early efforts to create a medical school in Wisconsin were fraught with fraud, mismanagement, financial failure, and unattainable goals.  This presentation will explore how Marquette University salvaged two for-profit medical schools (the Wisconsin College of Physicians and Surgeons, and the Milwaukee Medical College) and established what is today the Medical College of Wisconsin.  The presentation will provide insights on the practice of medicine in the early 20th century, the impact of religion and politics on medical education in Milwaukee, and pioneering work performed in Milwaukee and by the medical school’s faculty and alumni that has changed the practice of medicine worldwide.
