A list of Civil War medical
authors and faculty in this collection with their biographies and
lecture card examples
The following is a list
of early medical colleges and lecturers who taught at
those institutions. The dates when these medical colleges
were in existence can be used to determine when and if a given
surgeon was active during the Civil War. Since medical
colleges merged or went in and out of existence, all colleges or
departments of medicine may not be listed or the names may have
changed. This is an on-going research project about the
Civil War, its surgeons, and their educators.
Via the 'College
name links'
below, you can find lists of physician and scientist lecturers who
taught at each college. The
'Example links'
are
to the lecture tickets or cards in this collection.
'Catalogues or Alumni links'
are included where available in this collection to track students and faculty of
various medical colleges. The interest in the faculty is to
see who served in the Army during the Civil War and afterwards.
The interest in the students is to see who served in the Civil War
and taught after the War.

who served in the Civil War and those who taught after the War

It's all inter-related
on this site: medical schools sold lecture cards, lecturers who
were authors wrote books used at the medical schools, the
surgeons who attended the medical colleges fought in the Civil
War, surgeons joined the Army, the Army bought surgical
sets for the surgeon's use, and round and round it goes.

The following are
topics which were typically taught and lecture
tickets which were sold for the topics during the
1800's, the
photos to the left
are a group of very famous medical doctors and
professors who taught at Jefferson Medical College
just prior to the Civil War.
An excellent
reference by Wm. Norwood:
Medical Education in the United States before
the Civil War. A source for information on
medical education prior to the Civil War and the
foundations of medical education in the 1700 and
1800's when the country was forming it's medical
colleges. Norwood's book is also helpful in
finding out who taught at the various medical
colleges and what subjects for researching lecture
tickets.
