Definition(s)

  • The development in the nineteenth century of medical practice, though with origins in fourteenth-century Padua, located in the hospital, synthesizing the observation of disease and built on a knowledge of anatomy based on dissection. This development transformed medicine from a gentlemanly practice, based on cultured learning into a science, based on surgical practice.
