　　Medical Education

　　personal students from established professionals or went abroad to study in the traditional schools

　　of London，Paris{and Edinburgh.Medicine was first taught formally by specialists at the

　　University of Pennsylvania，beginning in 1765，and in 1767 at King's College（now Columbia University），the first institution in the colonies to give the degree of doctor of medicine.

　　Following the American Revolution，the Columbia medical faculty（formerly of King'S College）

　　was combined with the College of Physicians and Surgeons，chartered in 1809，which survives as

　　a division of Columbia University.

　　In 1893 the Johns Hopkins Medical School required all applicants to have a college degree

　　and was the first to afford its students the opportunity to further their training in an attached

　　teaching hospital.The growth of medical schools attached with established institutions of

　　learning went together with the development of proprietary（私营的）schools of medicine run for

　　personal profit.most of which had 10W standards and poor facilities In 1910 Abraham Flexner.

　　the American education reformer， wrote Medical Education in the United States and Canada，

　　exposing the poor conditions of most proprietary schools Subsequently the American Medical

　　Association（AMA）and the Association of American Medical Colleges（AAMC）1aid down

　　standards for course content，qualifications of teachers，laboratory facilities，connection with

　　teaching hospitals，and licensing of medical practitioners（开业医师）that survive to this day.

　　By the late 1980s the US and Canada had 142 4.year medical colleges recognized bv the

　　Liaison（联络1 Committee on Medical Education to offer che M.D.degree；during the 1987-88

　　academic year，47，262 men and 25，686 women entered these colleges and an estimated 11，752

　　men and 5，958 women were graduated.Graduates，after a year of internship（实习期），receive

　　licenses to practice if they pass an examination given either by a state board or by the National

　　Board of Medical Examiners

　　Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important.“Her friends Ashley

　　Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree.

　　Bruce Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975.This year he will

　　celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Company.Larry Althouse，president of the company

　　acknowledges Bruce Hardy's outstanding record：“‘You do not come by employees like Brute

　　these days.He has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record He was

　　recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350，000 accident

　　free miles Hardy's reputation is made further evident through the relationships he has made with

　　providing quality transportation ever since.My grandfather started the business with one bus.

　　Bruce Hardy，they have been building relationships through generations.Liesl's mother Carol

　　also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy's bus to the Octorara School District.
