University Of Aberdeen School Of Medicine
Aberdeen University Medical School is a school of the College of Life Sciences and Medicine at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.
Medicine has been taught at the university since the founding of King's College in 1495. Indeed, the university has been described as the first medical school in Scotland and even the English speaking world. Nevertheless, this assertion has been called into question as medical teaching already existed at Oxford and London and even as late as 1787 there were calls "for the establishment of a medical school" in Aberdeen. As of 2008 the Medical School takes 162 British students per year and an additional 13 from overseas.

“The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.”
—Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“No medicine in the world can do thee good;
In thee there is not half an hour’s life.”
