Synopsis

Exploring how medicine fits into military life and public service

This introductory discourse asks how a nation should train, certify, and deploy medical men in war and peace, with an emphasis on merit, experience, and public trust.

The book examines past and present models of military medicine across Europe and the English-speaking world, and it argues for a broader, more inclusive approach to selecting leaders and examiners. It contrasts ideal systems with the problems of self-perpetuating boards, and it suggests reforms that could expand opportunity, improve standards, and better serve the state and soldiers alike.
What you’ll experience
  • A historical overview of military medical education and organization in several nations
  • A critique of how appointments and boards currently work for army and navy medical staff
  • Arguments for broader participation and higher standards in exams and career progression
  • Ideas for aligning medical service with the needs of the country and its defense
Ideal for readers of medical history, military medicine, and scholars interested in professional patronage and reform.
