The first medical school in North America was established at the University of Mexico in 1578.¹ The resulting four-year course was a modification of the Hippocratic teachings then offered at European medical schools. The school incorporated the Vesalius (1514–1564) approach to the teaching of anatomy developed at Padua. It had little influence on medical education beyond its immediate surroundings. Sixty years earlier, in 1518, King Henry VIII had established the Royal College of Physicians of London to certify the training of physicians.² After the Edinburgh faculty was formed in 1726, teaching in hospitals or infirmaries became commonplace.
