Excerpt from School of Nursing, the Presbyterian Hospital in the City of New York: Announcement, 1928 The close physical association of a general hospital and medical college with special hospitals represents a distinct trend of modern medicine, and this Medical Centre is perhaps the most outstanding development of the kind in the world. Such great progress has been made in medical science during the last few decades that no one person can expect to master all phases of it. This condition, naturally, has produced an era of spe cialization with each specialist bent upon the develop ment of his particular field. The Medical Centre is an endeavor to coordinate these specialties at one source where the patient may receive an expert opinion from the particular specialist his case demands, or, if neces sary, the combined diagnosis of a group of specialists.
