We can trace back the origins of the Department of Medicine to “1845, when the chair of clinical medicine was established.â€1 The number of staff in the Department has increased gradually over the years, from one faculty member in its early years to 800 today. In 1924 Jonathan C. Meakins was the first to obtain the title of Director of the Department.2 His successor, J. S. L. Browne, took over in 1948. In the 1950s and 1960s, Experimental Medicine and Investigative Medicine existed as separate departments, the first created by Jonathan C. Meakins and the other by Ronald V. Christie.3 In the 1969-1970 academic year, the Department of Investigative Medicine was merged with the Department of Experimental Medicine. Experimental Medicine was integrated into the Department of Medicine at the end of the 1970s.
