Fifty medical students

The Competency of Fifty College Students

No task more worthy of attention confronts the psychologist today than the scientific study of the college student by means of mental tests. Psychological tests were first employed in the examination and segregation of the mentally feeble. A large number of clinics connected with modern school systems, hospitals, or juvenile courts have found these tests of service in detecting mental subnormal...

Fifty Years of Medical Progress, 1873-1922

The medical students' societies and medical students' publications.

The rich corporate life of the medical student and the medical students' societies at our medical school (at the present National University of Singapore) is generally unappreciated by its graduates and regrettably, even more unknown to the medical student of today. The present generation of medical students of NUS do not know of their rich history. We have published documentation of student ac...

Fifty-Year Fate and Impact of General Medical Journals

BACKGROUND Influential medical journals shape medical science and practice and their prestige is usually appraised by citation impact metrics, such as the journal impact factor. However, how permanent are medical journals and how stable is their impact over time? METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated what happened to general medical journals that were publishing papers half a century ago, in 1959....

Fifty years of Monte Carlo simulations for medical physics.

Monte Carlo techniques have become ubiquitous in medical physics over the last 50 years with a doubling of papers on the subject every 5 years between the first PMB paper in 1967 and 2000 when the numbers levelled off. While recognizing the many other roles that Monte Carlo techniques have played in medical physics, this review emphasizes techniques for electron-photon transport simulations. Th...
