Excerpt from A Guide to American Medical Students in Europe Every year a large number of Americans go to Europe to complete their medical studies. Unfortunately the great majority of these students have very little definite information about the different universities or about the way in which medicine is taught abroad, and on this account they lose much valuable time in getting to work. The object of this book is to furnish this information, and to give some assistance to the student at the outset of his foreign study, which is the time that he stands most in need of aid; and it is hoped that the book may also be of some interest to medical men in this country who wish to know how medicine is taught in Europe, although in order that the Guide might be of such a size as to be of real use to the student, it was necessary to omit much which might be of interest to the general practitioner. For a large part of the information in the book I am indebted to the kindness of many friends. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
