| Knowledge Changing Life: A History of the Medical College of Wisconsin, 1893 – 2019, traces the first
126 years of Wisconsin’s first medical school. Founded as the Wisconsin College of Physicians and
Surgeons, a private, for-profit institution, it was merged with the Milwaukee Medical College to become
the Marquette University School of Medicine in 1913. The school separated from Marquette in 1967 and
became one of the nation’s few freestanding health sciences centers. Knowledge Changing Life, by
Richard Katschke, provides rich detail on the challenges, achievements, controversies, and anecdotes for
what is now one of America’s major academic health sciences centers that is making discoveries that
change the practice of medicine worldwide. |
