Sommario/riassunto

David Wendel Yandell was the most distinguished physician of a family noted for its contributions to the medical profession over a period of generations.

Concerned especially about the need for practical training, Yandell waged a twenty-year campaign to expand clinic facilities and introduce intern programs at his own school and across the nation. H
