| "Most institutional histories of medical schools tell the narrow story of the creation and growth of that specific school and fail to put this story into the broader context of American medical educational change. Fortunately Eric Luft avoids this typical shortcoming and places the history of his medical school, SUNY Upstate Medical University, within the broader context of American medical history, from the school’s early nineteenth-century beginnings in Geneva, New York, into the first decade of the twenty-first century in Syracuse." -- Jonathon Erlen, Ph.D., University of Pittsburgh, in The Watermark, 29, 2 (Spring 2006): 34-35. |
