The Faculty of Medical and Human Sciences at the University of Manchester is one of the largest in the United Kingdom with around 6,000 undergraduates, 3,000 postgraduates and 2,000 staff.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Facts and figures )〕 The Faculty is divided into six Faculty Institutes and five Faculty Schools. Of the Faculty Schools, Manchester Medical School is responsible for medical undergraduate tuition. It is the third oldest medical school in England and the largest medical school in the United Kingdom.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Facts and figures )〕 The Faculty is a member of the Manchester Academic Health Science Centre and has four affiliated teaching hospitals at Manchester Royal Infirmary, University Hospital of South Manchester, Salford Royal Hospital and the Royal Preston Hospital. ==History of the Medical School== Medical teaching in Manchester began when Charles White founded the first modern hospital in the Manchester district, the Manchester Infirmary (later the Manchester Royal Infirmary), in 1752. He was followed by Joseph Jordan, who opened a School of Anatomy in 1814. In the intervening 60 years more than one private medical school existed in Manchester: the most successful was the Pine Street medical school, not far south of the Infirmary. A faculty of medicine opened in 1873 (at Owens College), and medical degrees were awarded by the Victoria University from 1883. The school was made co-educational in 1899 after a long and contentious debate about whether women could be members of the College at all.〔Fiddes, Edward (1941) "Admission of Women to Full University Status", in: Tylecote, Mabel. ''The Education of Women at Manchester University 1883 to 1933''; reprinted in Charlton, H. B. (1951) ''Portrait of a University''. Manchester: U. P.; pp. 153–162〕 The first female medical student to qualify Catherine Chisholm practised as a paediatrician after graduating. The success of the school meant that the building needed to be extended twice, in 1883 and 1894. From 1903/04 degrees were awarded by the Victoria University of Manchester. A considerable space was allocated to the library of the Manchester Medical Society (founded 1834) which until 1930 remained in their possession while accommodated in the University. The library became part of the university library at that time and remained in the building until 1981 when it was transferred into the present Main Library building of the University of Manchester Library (part of the rare books went to the John Rylands Library).〔Brockbank, E. M. (1929) "The Manchester Medical Society", in: ''The Book of Manchester and Salford''; written for the British Medical Association. Manchester: George Falkner & Sons, 1929; pp. 229-32〕〔Isherwood, Ian & Mohr, Peter (2000) ''Medical Men and Medical Science: a history of the library of the Manchester Medical Society 1834-1998''. Manchester : Portico Library〕 Additional departments were added from time to time: chronologically these were pharmaceutics, dentistry, and public health.〔''The Book of Manchester and Salford''; written for the British Medical Association. Manchester: George Falkner & Sons, 1929; pp. 75–85〕 A dental hospital was associated with the department of dentistry. Until 1908 the Manchester Royal Infirmary was at Piccadilly a mile away from the school but in 1908 it moved to a new site on Oxford Road much nearer the medical school and the two institutions were interdependent. The medical school expanded greatly in the 1950s, culminating in the opening of the Stopford Building in 1973 and additionally accepting University of St Andrews medical students (who have completed their pre-clinical course at St Andrews), for their clinical studies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「School of Medicine, University of Manchester」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
