"How's it going, have you figured it out?"

Gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, John asked his student with a smile.

After the graduation ceremony, it was naturally the graduation reception.

John didn't prepare for the prom because in his opinion it was the students' own business, not the school's business. However, he also invested a lot of money in the graduation party, and the rich and luxurious meals, as well as the most famous wine in New York, made the students feel the sincerity of the school.

After the reception began, the first thing John looked for was Harvey? Cushing 's.

Nodding vigorously, Harvey? Cushing said solemnly: "Yes sir, I have already thought about it, I want to be a surgeon!" ”

"Oh?"

Raising his eyebrows, John said with a slight smile at the corner of his eyes: "You have to think about it, both internal medicine and obstetrics and gynecology only need two years of residency training, while surgery takes three years!" The income gap between residents and attending physicians is quite large, and the income of surgeons is not as high as that of internal medicine...... Are you sure you really want to choose surgery? ”

"Yes sir, I'm sure!"

Cushing was not fooled and nodded firmly.

The residency system at Huntelaar Medical College has long been explained to students. As it stands, John offers only three residency positions for students to choose from: Internal Medicine Residency, Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency, and Surgery Residency.

Two years in internal medicine and obstetrics and gynecology, and three years in surgery.

In the United States of the future, the residency system is already very mature. Every medical school graduate must attend an interview and choose a qualified hospital for residency training, which can be as little as three years, as long as seven years, and if it is a surgical pearl such as neurosurgery, I am afraid it will take two or three years to become a fellow. After completing the training, you can start looking for a job and find a hospital to join as a doctor. In other words, if a person goes to college at the age of 18, 4 years of undergraduate, 4 years of medical school, and 3 years of residency, he will be almost 30 years old when he becomes a physician.

It's been long and hard.

At the end of the 19th century, of course, John could not have done this, but he was not eligible for admission until he had a bachelor's degree, and after four years of medical school, he had to go through at least two years of residency training before he could become a full-fledged physician, and the Huntelaar School of Medicine was also different from other medical schools of this era! Not to mention that the four years of college are extremely heavy with homework, and people are busy every day. That's why only five of the nine people came in at the beginning.

But......

Cushing grinned and said with a smile: "Even if you are a resident, your income is much better than the average person, so why not choose your favorite direction?" ”

"Oh? Haha......"

Hearing this answer, John laughed happily.

After several years of lagging development, Heinz General Hospital has undoubtedly become the top hospital in New York, with a staggering more than 1,000 outpatient visits per day and more than half of the city's surgical procedures! In this case, in addition to increasing the number of people, John also generously offered high salaries to the doctors!

Even if it's just a resident, John's annual salary is amazing!

In New York City in 1895, $500 was enough to feed a family for a year, and John set a minimum of $600 for residents. By the time they finish their training, even the lowest-paid surgeon will earn $1,200 a year if he is hired by the hospital, enough to make a good living in New York. You must know that in this era, only those doctors with a little reputation can do it, and the ordinary doctors in other hospitals are not even comparable to the workers working in the factories.

So without exception, the graduates chose to stay.

With a guaranteed income, Harvey? Cushing naturally chose his preferred type of surgery, and that's exactly what John wanted to see. He provides such a high income to his subordinates in the hope that they can put all their energy and time into work, preferably in the work they are interested in, and only in this way can they do their best......

……

"Ding!"

With a soft crunch, Osler and his old friend touched their glasses, and then asked with a smile, "How do you feel?" Do you have any inspiration for your school? ”

As he said this, Osler's expression was unusually confident.

It's no wonder that Osler is so arrogant, because Hopkins is too immature in every way compared to Heinz Medical School. Because of the stimulation of Heinz Medical School, Hopkins was completed a year earlier than in history, and the preparation must have been a little hasty, and without the soul of Osler, the clinical education that established Hopkins' historical status also ran into trouble!

So for the last three years, William? Welch kept coming to New York to learn from it.

Now that the first class of students from Huntelaar Medical School has graduated, Osler knows best the quality of these students, not only in the United States, but also in Europe...... Osler can't think of a medical school graduate better than them! Therefore, when talking to Welch on this occasion, Osler was not only full of pride, but also deeply glad that he did not agree to Hopkins' invitation back then, but resolutely came to New York!

"Hehe, very helpful."

Secretly smiling bitterly in his heart, Welch said with a straight face: "It seems that we Hopkins still have a lot to learn......

……

"How? Have you thought about it? ”

When the fifth student was asked, John was in a particularly happy mood. Because one of the first four students chose internal medicine, one chose obstetrics and gynecology, and two chose surgery, among which there was Cushing, a future bull, how could this not make John excited? He knew that of course he and Thomas, the dean, were both surgeons, but on the other hand, the development and progress of surgery in recent years were also extremely obvious, otherwise people would not risk their future to choose!

However, the fifth student shook his head and said, "Sir, I'm afraid I won't go to the hospital for residency training." ”

"Huh? Why? ”

The smile on John's face suddenly froze, and he hurriedly asked.

"I think I'm probably more interested in physiology."

This one is named Michael? Bailey's student blinked and quickly explained, "So I applied to Professor Quint a few days ago, and he agreed...... Headmaster, if I look back and find out that I don't really like physiology either, can I still choose to go to the hospital? ”

"Absolutely! Haha, always welcome! ”

Nodding vigorously, John laughed happily.

There are students who are more interested in basic medicine, which is of course something that John can't ask for!

At the end of the day, the progress of medicine is certainly due to the efforts of clinicians, but more importantly, the efforts of anatomists, physiologists and pathologists! And John also wants his students to pursue their own interests, so that they can really get involved.

And after several years of hard work, Huntelaar Medical College, hospitals and medical device companies have also achieved extremely brilliant achievements...... (To be continued.) )
